Medical ID Theft Protection
Submitted by admin on Sat, 09/20/2008 - 13:35.
As one of the fastest growing forms of identity theft, Medical ID Theft
is defined as the stealing of someone’s personal identifying information without legal authority or consent to obtain medical services or goods, and/or to make a false insurance claim for medical services.
Unfortunately, the devastating effects of Medical ID Theft go beyond financial. Frequently, Medical ID Theft results in erroneous medical information being transferred into a victim’s existing medical records. Ultimately, a victim’s medical record could reflect that he or she never had. Relying on those false records, future health care providers could easily make inaccurate diagnoses, resulting in medical errors or delaying proper treatment.
In addition to the potential medical consequences to this crime, the staggering financial effects are the relatively the same that any consumer victimized by
identity theft face: unpaid bills, serious blemishes on credit reports and harassing phone calls from collections agencies.
Medical ID Theft happens. And, it can happen to you or someone you know. Be sure
to periodically ask to see your medical records with your primary care physician.
