Total Security: IDENTITY THEFT PREVENTION
 Is Your Private Data Really Private?
How protected is your patient and employee personal information from identity theft?
How well do you abide by "Red Flag" rules?
Introduction
Identity thieves create havoc for consumers and businesses alike by stealing and misusing personally identifiable information from a wide variety of vulnerable sources. Under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACT) and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), hospitals likely meet the definition of "creditor" as they typically bill for services previously rendered on either a continuing or ad hoc basis, even if they do not request or use a consumer credit report. Therefore, patient accounts fall within the broad scope of FACT "covered accounts," and must be protected from identity theft in accordance with FACT regulations and limitations.

We can help you identify, detect and respond to patterns, practices or specific activities — known as "red flags" — that could indicate identify theft has or is about to occur. In short, we can help you keep your private data private.
