Did you know that for $60 a thief can buy someone’s health records and use them
to get costly care? Guess who gets the bill..
Are you aware that as a Health Care provider you are responsible to verify your
patient’s identity prior to practicing any procedure or examination? If not you
might never get paid.
In addition to using someone’s identity to get health care and
leave huge bills un-paid, an identity thief will leave false medical information
in the ID theft victim’s records. All of a sudden the real patient is allergic to
sulfates? Or even worse, has diabetes?
Medical Identity theft is on the RISE and most healthcare providers do not have
the right tools in place to minimize risk of treating identity thieves.
