Vòl Idantite Medikal, Dosye Sante Koripsyon, ak Faktirasyon Fwòd

Nimewo ijans yo diferan selon peyi. Paj sa a sèvi ak 911, nimewo pou Etazini ak Kanada. Anpil lòt peyi itilize 112, 999, oswa yon lòt nimewo. Jwenn nimewo pou peyi w.

Dekouvri yon eksplikasyon sou benefis yo (EOB) deklarasyon pou yon operasyon $42,000 pou pasyan ki entène, preskripsyon opioid, oswa vizit nan sal ijans ou pa janm resevwa se plis pase yon tèt fè mal finansye: se yon ijans klinik ki menase lavi. Kontrèman ak fwod kat kredi, kote yon bank tou senpleman ranvèse yon chaj, vòl idantite medikal melanje kalite san yon enpostè, alèji dwòg, dyagnostik sikyatrik, ak istwa chirijikal dirèkteman nan mèt ou a Dosye Sante Elektwonik (EHR) atravè echanj enfòmasyon sante nan tout peyi a (CareEverywhere, CommonWell, Carequality, ak Surescripts). Si w kouri san konesans nan yon sant chòk epi tablo sante w ki te pèvèti bay lis move kalite san an, omisyon alèji mòtèl la penisilin ou paske enpostè a te deklare "Pa gen alèji dwòg li te ye (NKDA)", oswa drapo ou kòm yon moun k ap chèche dwòg nakotik, klinisyen ijans ka fè erè tretman fatal. Yon fwa yon enpostè fin itilize limit benefis asirans sante w anyèl oswa enjekte fo dyagnostik kwonik nan baz done MIB Group (Medical Information Bureau), yo ka refize w tou asirans vi, pwoteksyon andikap, ak pwosedi medikal kritik.

Si oumenm oswa yon manm fanmi w ap sibi yon ijans medikal grav oswa si w ap refize swen lopital ijan akòz yon tablo medikal ki koripsyon, rele nimewo ijans lokal ou a (911 nan Etazini ak Kanada, 112 atravè Inyon Ewopeyen an, 999 nan Wayòm Ini) oswa konsilte anyè entènasyonal nou an nimewo ijans imedyatman, epi di doktè triyaj la an pèsòn pou li inyore tablo elektwonik otomatik la epi kouri yon nouvo tip san ak kwazman. Pou tout lòt ka vòl idantite medikal, fo dosye sante, oswa fwod bòdwo swen sante, swiv workflow ratrapaj ki anba a.

Fè sa kounye a

  1. Komande "Ansanm Dosye Deziyen" konplè ou AK "Kontabilite Divilgasyon" nan chak lopital, klinik, ak konpayi asirans ki afekte yo: Dapre Etazini Lwa sou Transparans ak Responsablite Asirans Sante (HIPAA, 45 CFR § 164.524 epi § 164.528), ou gen dwa legal pou resevwa yon kopi konplè dosye medikal ak bòdwo w yo nan 30 jou kalandriye, plis yon 6-ane Kontablite Divilgasyon ki montre chak òganizasyon deyò ki te resevwa enfòmasyon sante ou pwoteje. Pa konte sou opinyon debaz konsomatè andedan pòtal pasyan sou entènèt ou an (MyChart), ki kache kòd bòdwo entèn yo ak nòt administratif yo.
  2. Depoze yon rapò ofisyèl sou Vòl Idantite Komisyon Komès Federal (IdentityTheft.gov) ak yon Rapò Lapolis lokal: Founisè medikal ak konpayi asirans sante yo regilyèman refize efase dèt fwod oswa chanje tablo klinik sou pawòl yon pasyan sèlman. Jenere yon fòmèl Rapò Vòl Idantite FTC ak jwenn yon Nimewo Rapò Ensidan Lapolis lokal yo deklanche pwoteksyon legal pou bloke dèt anba Fair Credit Reporting Act (Fair Credit Reporting Act)FCRA § 605B, 15 U.S.C. § 1681c-2) ak pwouve ou se yon viktim krim.
  3. Avèti doktè prensipal ou a ak biwo triyay lopital lokal la pou yo mete yon "drapo sekirite klinik" sou tablo w la: Anvan dokiman legal yo pran 30 a 60 jou pou trete, mande vrè doktè w la ak Jesyon enfòmasyon sante lopital lokal ou a (HIM) department to place an immediate High-Visibility Clinical Alert Banner at the top of your electronic chart warning clinicians: "Confirmed Medical Identity Theft Victim. Verify Blood Type, Allergies, and Medication List directly with patient prior to administration. Fraudulent records from [Dates] are under HIPAA § 164.526 purge."
  4. Submit a formal written HIPAA § 164.526 Request for Amendment to the provider's Privacy Officer: Never handle medical record corruption over the phone with a standard billing clerk. Send a USPS Certified Mail demand directly to the hospital's HIPAA Privacy Officer and Health Information Management (HIM) Director demanding that every false diagnosis code (ICD-10), procedure code (CPT), allergy override, and clinical note created by the impostor be permanently purged or segregated from your chart, and that corrected notices be transmitted across Epic CareEverywhere and Surescripts.
  5. Call your health insurer's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) or Medicare Fraud Hotline (1-800-MEDICARE): Standard customer service representatives at health insurance companies cannot unwind medical identity theft. Ask specifically for the insurer's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) / Fraud Department to flag the fraudulent claims, restore your lifetime and annual benefit maximums, recalculate your deductible, and issue you a new Member ID number.
  6. Pull your specialty medical and prescription consumer reports (MIB Group, Milliman IntelliScript, ak LexisNexis): Even after a hospital fixes its local database, false diagnoses and prescription histories persist inside third-party underwriting databases used by life, disability, and long-term care insurers. Request and dispute your specialty files at the MIB Group, Milliman IntelliScript, and LexisNexis Risk Solutions, and freeze your primary credit files at Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion following our repons vyolasyon done ak gid modpas fuites.

Danger

Never pay a single dollar toward a fraudulent medical bill to make a collection agency go away or protect your credit score. Making a partial payment on a fraudulent hospital or laboratory invoice can be treated by billing systems and debt collectors as an admission that the debt and the underlying medical encounter are yours, which cements the impostor's clinical diagnoses and prescription records into your permanent health history. Dispute the debt in writing using your FTC Identity Theft Report under FCRA § 605B and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).

Decision tree: untangling corrupted clinical records vs. fraudulent insurance billing

Medical identity theft falls into two distinct categories that often overlap: Impostor Patient Theft (where an uninsured stranger or acquaintance physically checks into an emergency room or pharmacy using your stolen name, date of birth, Social Security Number, or insurance card) and Insider / Provider Upcoding & Phantom Billing Fraud (where a corrupt clinic, durable medical equipment company, or telehealth mill bills your Medicare or private insurance number for genetic tests, back braces, or visits that never happened). Use this flowchart to isolate both threats:

The 6 hidden databases where medical identity theft corrupts your life

When most patients discover medical identity theft, they call the billing phone number on an invoice and assume that once the hospital zeros out the bill, the problem is solved. In modern healthcare IT infrastructure, a single fraudulent emergency room visit or urgent care check-in replicates across six interconnected national data ecosystems within seconds. If you do not purge all six layers, the impostor's medical profile will re-infect your chart every time you visit a new doctor.

Healthcare Database Layer What Information Gets Corrupted Real-World Harm to the Victim How to Audit and Purge This Layer
1. Local Hospital / Clinic Electronic Health Record (EHR: Epic, Oracle Cerner, Meditech, Athenahealth) Impostor's triage vitals, blood type, height/weight, false allergy list, infectious disease labs, psychiatric holds, or substance abuse notes overwrite your master patient index (MPI). Lethal medical errors: Receiving incompatible blood products, being given a medication you are allergic to, or having symptoms dismissed because the chart lists the impostor's history. Soumèt yon ekri HIPAA 45 CFR § 164.526 Demann pou Amannman nan Jesyon Enfòmasyon Sante lopital la (HIM) Direktè ak Ofisye Konfidansyalite ki mande separe tablo yo.
2. Echanj enfòmasyon sou sante nan tout peyi (HIE: Epic CareEverywhere, CommonWell, Carequality) Rale ak fusion rezime klinik (Continuity of Care Documents / CCDs) soti nan lopital atravè tout 50 eta Etazini yo nan ekran doktè ou ye kounye a. Menm si Lopital A efase yon vizit fwod lokalman, si Lopital B deja rale sa a kòwonpi CCD rezime via CareEverywhere, kopi Lopital B la kontinye montre dyagnostik enpostè a. Nan ou HIPAA § 164.526(c)(3) demann, mande lopital orijin lan pou l transmèt yon Avi pou Amannman Elektwonik & Dekonekte Tablo a chak moun k ap resevwa HIE sou Kontablite Divilgasyon w la.
3. Rezo nasyonal e-preskripsyon ak sibstans kontwole (Surescripts & Eta PDMP Baz done) Preskripsyon Yo Vann an Detay ak preskripsyon pa lapòs ranpli anba idantite w, plis eta Pwogram Siveyans Medikaman Preskripsyon (PDMP) journaux pou orè II-V sibstans kontwole. Si yon enpostè te itilize idantite w pou doktè-boutik pou oksikodòn, estimilan, oswa benzodyazepin, doktè yo tcheke eta a. PDMP ka make ou yon moun k ap chèche dwòg epi refize soulajman doulè apre chòk. Mande doktè w oswa famasyen pou enprime ** ou.Surescripts Istwa Medikaman**; depoze yon Demann Koreksyon Pasyan PDMP ak Konsèy Eta Famasi w la ansanm ak Rapò Lapolis ou a.
4. Motè Reklamasyon Peyatè Sante (Medicare, Medicaid, oswa konpayi asirans komèsyal) Master claims history of every CPT (pwosedi), HCPCS (equipment), and ICD-10 (diagnosis) code billed against your policy, plus deductible and benefit counters. Exhausts annual benefit caps (physical therapy, durable medical equipment, or mental health), triggers denial of prior authorizations, and hikes premiums. Contact the insurer's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) or 1-800-MEDICARE, submit your FTC Identity Theft Report, demand claim suppression, and request a new Member ID Number.
5. Insurance Underwriting Specialty Bureaus (MIB Group, Milliman IntelliScript, LexisNexis) Collects coded medical conditions (ICD-10), abnormal lab alerts, and prescription histories from insurance applications and claims clearinghouses for 7 years. Automatic denial or rate hikes when you apply for Life Insurance, Disability Income Insurance, or Long-Term Care Insurance. Request free annual consumer disclosures from MIB Group (mib.com), Milliman IntelliScript (rxhistories.com), and LexisNexis (consumer.risk.lexisnexis.com) and file an FCRA dispute.
6. Biwo kredi nan tout peyi (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion) & Pèseptè dèt Kopeman lopital ki pa peye, bòdwo anbilans, bòdwo anestezi andeyò rezo a, ak frè sal dijans yo voye bay pèseptè dèt medikal yon twazyèm pati. Pwosè, sezi salè, prelèvman labank, ak domaj nòt kredi pou bòdwo medikal ki depase limit rapò. Sèvi yon Demann blòk 4 jou ouvrab anba FCRA § 605B (15 U.S.C. § 1681c-2) sou tout twa biwo yo ak yon Avi Sispansyon Vòl Idantite anba la FDCPA sou pèseptè.

Faz 1: Jwenn siy avètisman yo byen bonè nan vòl idantite medikal

Paske lopital ak laboratwa raman rele yon pasyan anvan yo soumèt yon reklamasyon elektwonik, 65 pousan nan viktim vòl idantite medikal pa reyalize idantite sante yo te konpwomèt jiskaske mwa pita. Odit dosye w yo si w remake nenpòt nan uit drapo wouj sa yo:

  1. Atik ki pa abitye sou yon Eksplikasyon Avantaj yo (EOB) oswa Avi Rezime Medicare (MSN): Pa janm jete yon EOB anvlòp jis paske premye paj la di "SA PA YON BÒDÒ: PASYAN DWE $0.00." Ekipman medikal dirab koripsyon (DME) mills voye bòdwo Medicare oswa asirans komèsyal pou aparèy òtopedik, monitè glikoz kontinyèl, panno PCR, oswa tès jenetik pandan w ap renonse kopeman pasyan an pou w pa janm resevwa yon fakti founisè. Li chak atik liy sou chak EOB epi MSN pou verifye si w te wè doktè sa nan dat sa a.
  2. Etrange antre klinik, alèji, oswa chanjman wotè/pwa andedan MyChart: Konekte sou portail pasyan ou yo sou entènèt (Epic MyChart, Oracle Health, Healow, Athenahealth) epi enspekte Rezime Sante -> Alèji, Medikaman, Vaksinasyon, ak Vizit ki sot pase yo. Si gwoup san ou te chanje, wotè ki nan lis ou a te sote de 10 santimèt (4 pous), yon istwa sibstans ki pa abitye parèt, oswa yon vizit nan depatman ijans yo pa konnen, MPI (Endèks Pasyan Mèt) yo te detounen oswa fizyone ("kaperasyon tablo").
  3. Refi toudenkou pou yon pwosedi medikal oswa preskripsyon lejitim: Si famasi ou refize ranpli preskripsyon ou paske asirans reklame li te ranpli jou de sa atravè vil la, oswa konpayi asirans ou refize otorizasyon alavans pou yon atèl jenou, machin CPAP, oswa sesyon terapi fizik paske limit benefis anyèl ou fin itilize, yon lòt moun ap vide politik ou.
  4. ** Notifikasyon inatandi soti nan MyChart konsènan lyen klinik ekstèn**: Platfòm EHR modèn yo voye alèt otomatik lè yon klinik nan yon lòt sistèm sante konekte ak dosye w oswa pran yon randevou telesante. Trete nenpòt koneksyon klinik ki pa abitye kòm yon vyolasyon aktif.
  5. Apèl, tèks, oswa pwosè pou peye dèt pou bòdwo lopital, patoloji, radyoloji, oswa anbilans ki pa abitye: Vizit nan sal ijans yo jenere jiska senk bòdwo separe (frè etablisman lopital, gwoup doktè ijans, radyològ, patolojis, ak anbilans). Resevwa yon avi koleksyon nan men yon gwoup anplwaye doktè ki pa abitye (Envision, TeamHealth, oswa US Acute Care Solutions) se souvan premye siy ke yon enpostè te itilize non w ak SSN nan yon sal dijans mwa de sa.
  6. Sispèk nan men doktè konsènan preskripsyon sibstans kontwole: Si yon doktè oswa yon enfimyè toudenkou kesyone w sou itilizasyon opioid, refize medikaman estanda apre operasyon, oswa mansyone vizit ou pa janm fè, mande yo tcheke State PDMP (Pwogram Siveyans Medikaman Preskripsyon) ak Epic CareEverywhere anrejistreman pou aktivite enpostè.
  7. Resevwa yon IRS Form 1095-A, 1095-B, oswa 1095-C pou yon kontra asirans sante ki pa abitye: Koutye asirans vakabon pafwa itilize Nimewo Sekirite Sosyal yo vòlè ak dat nesans yo pou enskri viktim yo nan Lwa sou Swen Abòdab ki sibvansyone (ACA) Plan mache san konsantman pou komisyon koutye pòch yo. Lè ou ranpli deklarasyon taks federal ou a, IRS rejte deklarasyon w la oswa mande pou ranbousman Kredi taks prim avanse (APTC).
  8. Resevwa yon lèt notifikasyon vyolasyon done ki soti nan yon lopital, clearinghouse (Change Healthcare), oswa laboratwa (Quest, LabCorp): Vyolasyon swen sante yo ekspoze pake egzak kriminèl yo bezwen: Non konplè, Dat nesans, Nimewo Sekirite Sosyal, ID Manm Asirans Sante, ak Nimewo Gwoup.

Faz 2: Sekirize sekirite klinik ou ak odit dosye medikal konplè ou

Anvan ou goumen ak depatman bòdwo, pi gwo priyorite w se asire w ke pa gen okenn doktè, enfimyè oswa paramedik ki konte sou done medikal pèvèti pou trete w nan yon ijans.

Etap 1: Mete yon "Avètisman Sekirite Klinik Vòl Idantite Medikal" Imedya sou Tablo reyèl ou yo.

Kontakte Jesyon Enfòmasyon Sante a (HIM) / Depatman Dosye Medikal nan biwo doktè prensipal ou ak nan sistèm lopital ki pi pre kote yo ta mennen w nan yon anbilans. - Enfòme a HIM Direktè ke ou se yon viktim konfime vòl idantite medikal (oswa yon "Dosye Medikal Melanje / Superpoze" kote yo te fizyone dosye yon lòt pasyan nan pa w la). - Mande pou yo mete yon Banyè Sekirite Klinik ki gen anpil Vizibilite sou Endèks Pasyan Mèt ou a (MPI) anrejistre pou nenpòt klinisyen ki louvri tablo w la wè yon avètisman popup imedyat pou verifye idantite w ak yon idantite foto, re-verifye alèji dwòg ou yo, epi kouri yon nouvo tip san ak ekran. - Mande doktè swen prensipal ou a pou enprime yon Rezime klinik sou papye ki siyen e verifye (ki bay lis vrè kalite san w, alèji dwòg, medikaman aktif, ak maladi kwonik) epi pote yon kopi nan bous ou ansanm ak kat idantite w ak asirans.

Etap 2: Mande "Ansanm Dosye Deziyen" konplè ou ak "Kontabilite Divilgasyon" Anba HIPAA

Pa senpleman mande yon resepsyonis klinik pou yon kopi nòt vizit ou yo. Dapre lwa federal (45 CFR § 164.524 epi 45 CFR § 164.528 Ozetazini; UK GDPR Subject Access Request nan Wayòm Ini a; PIPEDA / PHIPA nan Kanada; GDPR Article 15 atravè Inyon Ewopeyen an), soumèt yon demann alekri bay HIPAA Privacy Officer founisè a oswa Divilge Enfòmasyon (ROI) Depatman mande twa ansanm done:

  1. Ansanm konplè dosye ki deziyen an (45 CFR § 164.524): Mande tout fòm enskripsyon admisyon yo, kopi eskane lisans chofè a ak kat asirans yo prezante nan enskripsyon an, fòm konsantman pou tretman ki siyen, nòt enfimyè triyaj, nòt doktè, rezilta laboratwa ak radyoloji, rezime egzeyat, ak **detache UB-04 / CMS-1500 ki montre chak fòm reklamasyon. ICD-10 kòd dyagnostik ak CPT kòd pwosedi faktire. Anba federal HIPAA règ yo, founisè a dwe bay dosye sa yo nan 30 jou kalandriye (oswa 15 jou nan Kalifòni dapre Kòd Sante ak Sekirite § 123110).
  2. Yon Kontablite Divilgasyon HIPAA pou 6 ane (45 CFR § 164.528): Mande yon jounal alekri chak antite ekstèn, rejis, oswa asosye biznis ki te resevwa Enfòmasyon sou Sante Pwoteje ou (PHI) pandan sis ane ki sot pase yo, plis yon jounal chak Echanj Enfòmasyon Sante (HIE) demann (Epic CareEverywhere, CommonWell, Carequality) ki te rale rankont fwod la nan sistèm lopital deyò.
  3. ** EHR Audit Trail / Aksè Jounal (45 CFR § 164.308(a)(1)(ii)(D) & 42 U.S.C. § 17935(e))**: Si w sispèk yon inisye (tankou yon anplwaye lopital oswa yon grefye bòdwo) te vòlè oswa chanje dosye w la, mande Plis Odit Dosye Sante Elektwonik la ki montre idantifikasyon itilizatè yo, timestamps, ak kote tèminal chak manm pèsonèl ki te jwenn aksè nan tablo w la pandan seri dat fwod la.

Warning

E si yon Ofisye Konfidansyalite nan lopital la refize montre w dosye vizit fo yo, li di ke si w fè sa t ap vyole dwa konfidansyalite HIPAA enpostè a? Site Biwo Dwa Sivil Depatman Sante ak Sèvis Imen Etazini (HHS OCR) Konsèy sou Règ Konfidansyalite HIPAA sou Vòl Idantite Medikal: Paske dosye medikal ak bòdwo yo endis anba Non w, Dat Nesans, Nimewo Sekirite Sosyal, ak Endèks Pasyan Mèt ou (MPI), yo legalman fè pati Ansanm Dosye Deziyen ou anba a 45 CFR § 164.524. Pandan ke lopital la gendwa redije foto siveyans enpostè a oswa nimewo telefòn pèsonèl la, lopital la pa ka kenbe dyagnostik klinik yo, pwosedi yo, dosye bòdwo yo, oswa dat sèvis ki tache ak idantite w la, epi li dwe ba ou yo.

Faz 3: Fòse lopital pou netwaye fo dosye klinik yo (HIPAA § 164.526)

Yon fwa ou fin revize dosye yo epi idantifye chak vizit, tès laboratwa, dyagnostik, oswa preskripsyon ki pa pou ou, ou dwe legalman fòse founisè swen sante a retire oswa separe antre koripsyon yo nan tablo ou a.

Anba 45 CFR § 164.526 (Dwa pou amann enfòmasyon sou sante ki pwoteje): 1. Demann Amannman Ekri Ou a: Soumèt yon lèt siyen ak dat bay Ofisye Konfidansyalite HIPAA ak Direktè Jesyon Enfòmasyon Sante lopital la (HIM) idantifye chak dat sèvis, kòd dyagnostik (ICD-10), medikaman, antre alèji, ak nòt klinik ki fè pati yon vòlè idantite oswa erè kouvri tablo. 2. Dat limit lwa 60 jou Lopital la: Anba 45 CFR § 164.526(b)(2), founisè swen sante a dwe aji sou demann amandman w la nan 60 jou kalandriye apre li resevwa l. 3. Distribisyon Tablo ("De-Superposition") kont Amannman Atik Liy: Pwofesyonèl HIM estanda AHIMA (Asosyasyon Ameriken pou Jesyon Enfòmasyon Sante) bay lopital la enstriksyon pou extrai ak separe tout rankont enpostè a nan yon Endèks Pasyan Mèt "John/Jane Doe Fraudulent Account" separe (MPI) nimewo, dekonekte li ak reyèl ou a MPI tablo ak restore done klinik debaz ou yo. 4. ** Obligatwa Notifikasyon En (45 CFR § 164.526(c)(3))**: Yon fwa founisè a aksepte amandman ou a epi dekonpoze rankont fwod la, lwa federal egzije founisè a pou transmèt dosye korije/dekonekte a bay chak moun oswa òganizasyon ou idantifye (vrè doktè ou, konpayi asirans sante ou, ak biwo espesyalis tankou MIB Group), ak chak echanj enfòmasyon sante (Epic CareEverywhere, CommonWell, Carequality) ak rezo famasi (Surescripts) ki te resevwa done yo pèvèti.

E si yon Founisè refize ou HIPAA § 164.526 Demann amannman?

Si yon lopital oswa yon klinik refize amande oswa retire fo antre yo, lwa federal (45 CFR § 164.526(d)) ba ou twa kont-mezi legal: 1. Dwa pou Depoze yon "Deklarasyon Dezakò" fòmèl (45 CFR § 164.526(d)(2)): Soumèt yon Deklarasyon Dezakò alekri (tache Rapò Vòl Idantite FTC ou ak Rapò Lapolis) pou eksplike ki antre yo fwod ak ki kalite vrè san w, alèji, ak istwa medikal ou ye. 2. Atachman Pèmanan Obligatwa pou Tout Divilgasyon Futuros (45 CFR § 164.526(d)(4)): Yon fwa ou ranpli yon Deklarasyon Dezakò, lopital la gen obligasyon legal pou ajoute Deklarasyon Dezakò w la pou tout tan nan dosye medikal konteste a, epi dwe enkli Deklarasyon Dezakò w la ak chak divilgasyon fiti oswa transmisyon elektwonik HIE dosye sa a. 3. ** Plent Federal Enforcement ak HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR)**: Depoze yon plent fòmèl pou Règ sou enfòmasyon prive HIPAA nan ocrportal.hhs.gov nan 180 jou, epi kopye Konsèy Medikal Eta a ak Pwokirè Jeneral Eta a.

Faz 4: Netwaye reklamasyon asirans fwod, biwo espesyalis yo, ak fwod nan Marketplace ACA

Apre fèmen tablo lopital ou yo, netwaye baz done finansye, souskripsyon ak taks ki bay reklamasyon swen sante yo.

Etap 1: Asirans Sante SIU, Medicare (1-800-MEDICARE), ak Kat ID Nouvo Manm

  1. Asirans Sante Prive / Anplwayè: Rele nimewo ki sou do kat asirans ou a epi mande pou Inite Envestigasyon Espesyal la (SIU) / Depatman Fwòd. Bay nimewo FTC ak Rapò Lapolis ou yo, epi mande envestigatè a pou anile tout reklamasyon fwod sou ou. EOB deklarasyon, retabli franchiz anyèl ou ak limit benefis pou tout lavi oswa anyèl ou, epi bay yon nouvo kat idantite Manm.
  2. Orijinal Medicare (Part A, Part B, Part D) oswa Medicaid: Rele 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) pou rapòte atik fwod sou Avi Rezime Medicare ou a (MSN), ranpli yon rapò ak Biwo Enspektè Jeneral HHS (HHS-OIG) nan oig.hhs.gov/fraud/report-fraud/ (1-800-447-8477), epi kontakte Senior Medicare Patrol eta ou a (SMP) nan smpresource.org (1-877-808-2468) pou jwenn yon Idantifikatè benefisyè Medicare ki konpwomèt (MBI) ranplase.

Etap 2: Odit epi Konteste 3 Biwo Souskripsyon Medikal Espesyalite ak Preskripsyon yo

Asirans lavi, andikap, ak swen alontèm souskriptè yo retire rapò ki soti nan twa Lwa sou Rapò sou Kredi Ekitab (FCRA) ajans espesyalite rapò konsomatè yo. Si yon vizit nan lopital oswa yon famasi enpostè te anrejistre yon fo dyagnostik oswa yon preskripsyon opioid anba SSN ou a, verifye ak konteste tout twa:

Biwo Medikal Espesyalite Ki sa li swiv Kijan pou w mande divilgasyon w gratis ak fwod pou diskite
1. Gwoup MIB (Biwo Enfòmasyon Medikal) Kondisyon medikal ki kode (ICD-10) ak laboratwa/konklizyon vital yo rapòte pandan asirans lavi, andikap, oswa swen alontèm sou 7 ane ki sot pase yo. Mande dosye anyèl ou gratis nan mib.com/request_your_record.html (1-866-692-6901) epi soumèt yon FCRA diskisyon ak Rapò FTC Vòl Idantite w la.
2. Milliman IntelliScript Total 5 a 7 ane nan istwa ranpli medikaman sou preskripsyon, kote famasi, doktè preskri, ak done reklamasyon medikal konpayi asirans yo itilize. Mande rapò gratis sou Preskripsyon ak Istwa Medikal IRIX ou a nan rxhistories.com (1-877-211-4816) epi diskite sou preskripsyon ki pa abitye ak rapò FTC ou a.
3. ExamOne / LexisNexis Risk Solutions ExamOne LabPiQture konpile rezilta istorik laboratwa klinik ak dosye preskripsyon; LexisNexis rasanble reklamasyon medikal ak dosye founisè yo. Mande ExamOne LabPiQture nan examone.com/consumer-support/ (1-844-225-8047) ak LexisNexis nan consumer.risk.lexisnexis.com (1-800-456-6004), Lè sa a, soumèt yon FCRA § 605B avi bloke.

Etap 3: Rezoud Enskripsyon Mache ACA Fwòd (IRS Form 1095-A Fwòd taks)

Si yon ajan asirans koken oswa yon vòlè idantite te enskri Nimewo Sekirite Sosyal ou nan yon Lwa Swen Abòdab (ACA) HealthCare.gov / State Marketplace plan san konsantman w, IRS ap rejte deklarasyon taks federal ou a (Form 1040) paske yon elektwonik Form 1095-A te emèt anba SSN ou ki montre chak mwa ** Kredi taks prim avanse (APTC)**. pa tache fwod la 1095-A kòmsi politik la te pou ou. Swiv CMS / IRS san otorizasyon Pwotokòl Enskripsyon Marketplace: 1. Rele Sant Apèl Marketplace HealthCare.gov (1-800-318-2596) epi deklare w ap rapòte yon Enskripsyon Marketplace san otorizasyon / Fwòd ajan. Mande yon ankèt ak yon Anile/Korije Fòm 1095-A (ki montre $0 atravè tout mwa) transmèt ba ou menm ak IRS la. 2. Rapòte ajan/koutye dosye a: Mande reprezantan Marketplace la pou Non ak Nimewo Pwodiktè Nasyonal la (NPN) Ajan/Koutye a sou aplikasyon fwod la, epi rapòte yo bay Komisè Asirans Eta a ak IdentityTheft.gov. 3. Depoze deklarasyon taks ou a: Dapre Enstriksyon IRS pou Fòm 8962 ("Politik Jwenn pa yon lòt kontribyab la"), yon fwa ou te rapòte politik la san otorizasyon nan Marketplace la epi konfime ke kay ou a pa janm itilize politik la, swiv enstriksyon IRS pou ranpli ak yon alokasyon zewo oswa atache IRS Form 14039 jiskaske anile a 1095-A rive.

Kesyon yo poze souvan

Èske yon lopital oswa yon ajans koleksyon ka ruine pwen kredi mwen sou yon bòdwo medikal fwod?

Non, depi ou egzèse dwa legal ou anba Lwa sou Rapò sou Kredi Ekitab (FCRA Seksyon 605B, 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2) ak Lwa sou Pratik pou Koleksyon Dèt Ekitab (FDCPA). Ozetazini, twa biwo kredi nan tout peyi yo (Equifax, Experian, ak TransUnion) deja eskli dèt koleksyon medikal peye, dèt medikal ki poko gen 500 dola, ak dèt medikal ki gen mwens pase yon ane nan rapò kredi konsomatè yo. Pou nenpòt ki fwod bòdwo medikal nenpòt ki kantite dola, voye yon kopi ofisyèl FTC rapò vòl idantite w ak rapò lapolis bay biwo kredi yo fòse yo pa lwa federal bloke liy komès la pou tout tan nan 4 jou ouvrab epi entèdi lopital la oswa pèseptè pou tout tan tout tan vann oswa rapòte dèt la ankò.

Poukisa yon lopital pa ka tou senpleman peze "Efase" pou efase yon vizit fwod nan dosye sante elektwonik mwen an?

Dapre règleman sekirite federal HIPAA (45 CFR 164.312) ak lwa eta a pou kenbe dosye medikal, lojisyèl Elektwonik Dosye Sante (EHR) tankou Epic ak Oracle Cerner se achitekti kòm yon jounal odit ki pa ka chanje kote nòt klinik yo pa ka senpleman ranplase san tras. Olye de sa, lè ou soumèt yon fòmèl HIPAA Seksyon 164.526 Demann pou Amandman ak Lapolis ak Rapò Vòl Idantite FTC ou a, ekip Jesyon Enfòmasyon Sante (HIM) lopital la fè "Chart Unmerging" oswa "De-Overlay": yo retire tout rankont enpostè a soti nan Endèks Pasyan Mèt ou a (MPI), mete li nan dosye fwod ou a (MPI). retabli kalite san debaz ou ak pwofil alèji, epi transmèt yon avi elektwonik dekonekte atravè Epic CareEverywhere ak lòt Echanj Enfòmasyon sou Sante.

Kouman pou mwen konnen si yon moun te itilize idantite mwen pou ranpli preskripsyon opioid oswa sibstans kontwole?

Ou ta dwe fè odit de sistèm preskripsyon separe. Premyèman, mande doktè swen prensipal ou oswa famasyen regilye w pou mande istwa medikaman komèsyal 5 ane w la atravè Surescripts (rezo preskripsyon elektwonik nan tout peyi a) epi mande divilgasyon konsomatè gratis ou nan men Milliman IntelliScript (rxhistories.com). Dezyèmman, paske Gouvènman Eta a kontwole preskripsyon sibstans kontwole ki peye lajan kach (Onè II-V opioid, estimilan, ak benzodyazepin) separeman, kontakte Komisyon Famasi Eta a oswa Depatman Sante Eta a pou mande rapò pèsonèl Pwogram Siveyans Medikaman Preskripsyon Pasyan ou (PDMP), epi soumèt Rapò Lapolis ou ak Rapò FTC Vòl Idantite w pou ranpli nenpòt enpostè.
