Medical Identity Theft


You may have heard about it in the news; Medical identity theft is on the rise in terms of frequency and impact. Medical identity theft is a variation of identity theft where one’s personal information is fraudulently used to obtain medical services including treatment, healthcare products, or pharmaceuticals.

The consequences of medical identity theft can be staggering and severe. Incorrect medical information in your file could impact your insurance premiums or ability to obtain disability or life insurance. It could even compromise your health care.

Warning signs that you’ve been a victim of medical identity theft include: getting bills for medical treatments you didn’t receive, getting collection notices for medical bills you don’t owe, or having an insurance application or claim denied due to a condition you don’t have.

If you think you may have been a victim of medical identity theft, contact your health plan and insurance provider immediately. Begin by requesting a record of your medical benefits and care history and comparing their notes with the services you know to be true (this is a request you can make at any time). Once you can prove that medical identity theft has taken place, file a police report with as much information as you have. A police report can a valuable tool in disputing medical charges that you aren’t responsible for.

Also, now that you know your information has been compromised, be sure to check your bank and credit card statements and credit report for activity and accounts you don’t recognize. Unfortunately, once your information has been leaked, it’s impossible to be certain that it’s not in use.

Protect Your Small Business from Identity Theft

 

Ensure Protection From Identity Theft in Your Small Business

By Linda Vincent

Consumer identity theft is in the news every day, and for good reason: consumers are the fastest growing victims of identity theft. They often become victims as a direct result of small businesses not safeguarding their personal information. From exposed credit card information at a restaurant to easily accessible patient records at a physician’s office, small businesses need to keep sensitive data under lock and key to provide identity theft protection.

Are you one of those small businesses ignoring identity theft threats? If so, you are putting your business at serious risk. In addition to the countless revenue you will lose when customers flee to your competitors, you may also face costly lawsuits that can literally put you out of business.
Many small business owners like you are so busy serving your customers’ needs that you forget to protect the data that makes you vulnerable to hackers, data breaches, and even employee identity theft. To avoid small business identity theft, you must take every possible precaution to ensure that you, the company, the employees, and your customers have protection from identity theft.
There are many proven strategies to prevent small business identity theft, and there are a couple of basic rules: 1) identify and implement security strategies to physically protect business information and customers’ private data, and 2) ensure that computer networks are virtually protected against data breaches that can result in identity theft.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the questions you should be asking yourself if you want to ensure your business’ protection from identity theft:
  • How safe are your business records? Start by thinking about the simple things like access to filing cabinets, and then look at the much larger issue of virtual filing cabinets—which includes all of the private information you’ve collected on your customers and employees. How easy is it for anyone to login and walk away with information that could put your business at risk?
  • Do you have alarms and locks on your physical premises? It may sound obvious, but many small businesses have not invested in basic systems to provide protection from Identity Theft. The first step is hiring a security company to install and begin monitoring all possible entryways of your business.
  • Are you shredding everything? Emphasize the importance of shredding all documents that contain customers’ personal data. Employees need to understand that any piece of stolen personal information can be used against the business in the event of a lawsuit due to negligence. Consider placing only one regular trash bin near the workstations and put shredders next to every station to promote the destruction of customer information.
  • Are you helping a hacker? One of the many small business identity theft threats is hacking because, in many cases, it’s the easiest way to steal information. Unless your company has protection from identity theft by using a secure firewall, you are inviting an intruder to slyly slip into your network, take everything, and then sell it on the black market.
  • Who has access to your computers? Your computer network is the lifeblood of your business, so you need to make sure it is password protected and that the most private, identifiable information is safeguarded. Think about who really requires access to the network. A receptionist needs far less access than a manager.

Medical Identity Theft

Guard Against Medical Identity Theft

by Diane Wedner on July 2, 2012 

What’s worse than facing a whopping medical bill? Facing a whopping medical bill that someone else racked up using your identity.
Each year about 2 million Americans are victims of medical identity theft. It costs individual victims about $22,000, according to the Third Annual National Study on Medical Theft.
The survey, conducted by the independent research company Ponemon Institute, revealed that the estimated total cost—to all involved—is about $41 billion yearly.
“A majority of people often don’t find out their medical identity has been stolen until they hear from a collection agency,” says Ken Chaplin, a senior vice president of marketing for Experian. “They find out they owe money to a medical provider and they’ve defaulted on the bill.”
Half of the respondents said they knew the person who stole their identity: caregivers, a child or a sibling who gained access from insurance information left on a desk or in a drawer.
Some respondents said they permitted family members to use their personal identification to get medical services, including treatment, health care products and medications.
“It’s pretty shocking, but something to be aware of,” Chaplin says. “Lock up your information and treat it like any valuable.”
Why so valuable? The survey reports that 20% of respondents said their medical records were accessed or modified. Altered medical records can result in patients getting the wrong treatment.
Also, victims pay out-of-pocket expenses to resolve the identity theft.
“The medical industry is different than the financial industry,” Chaplin says. “They often limit their exposure. So find out what you’re liable for if your medical identity is stolen. Some companies cap your liability, but others don’t.”
Survey respondents claimed that on average it took about one year to resolve the theft.
Here are some useful tips to avoid being a victim of medical identity theft:
  • When the explanation of benefits arrive from your insurance company, read them over. Make sure that the services provided were those you actually got. If you see unfamiliar ones, “that’s a big red flag,” Chaplin says. “Call the insurance company immediately. The quicker you take action, the quicker you can cut it off.”
  • Don’t share your insurance information with anyone, Chaplin says.
  • Put your insurance card in a locked drawer at home, taking it out only on the day of a doctor visit. When a wallet is stolen, victims quickly cancel their credit cards, but forget their health insurance card is there too for the taking. Do leave home without it!
  • Identity-theft-protection companies, such as Experian ProtectMyID, provide alerts when your identity is stolen and assist in resolving the claims.
