Identity Theft by Phishing * Medical Identity Theft Medical Identity Theft - When the Damage Involves More Than Money…    Carl LaFresnaye Medical identity theft costs the American insurance industry as much as $180 billion annually.

If a thief used your identification info at several hospitals across various states, you can spend a lifetime trying to correct the problem! Take the case of a man in Pennsylvania who suffered from the damage wrought by medical identity theft. A thief was found to have used the man's identity to get over $100,000 in treatments. The problem was that the scam involved five separate hospitals and, in each place, the thief created a new medical history under his victim's name! Imagine how hard it was to clean that up! Often, all the erroneous charges, diagnoses, treatments, etc. are transmitted and retransmitted through several medical and insurance industry networks before you ever get a hint of anything wrong going on. The end result: a trail of wrong information that can follow you around for many years and cause you both medical and financial damage. What are the consequences of medical identity theft? - You could get wrong treatments. - You may find your health insurance used up all of a sudden. - You could be regarded as uninsurable (for both health AND life policies). - You may fail pre-employment health checkups. - You could have reputation-damaging diagnoses on your medical record. As yet, US laws are inadequate, making medical identity theft difficult to detect.
