Medical Id Theft worth more than Financial Id Theft
Medical identity theft accounts for only 3 percent of identity theft crimes, or 249,000 of the estimated 8.3 million people who had their identities stolen in 2005, according to the Federal Trade Commission.
However, a stolen Social Security number has an estimated street value of $1 per identity; the price of stolen medical identity information averages a much higher street value, at an average of $50 per identity.
The American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) released a brief about Medical Id Theft and how to mitigate it.
The AHIMA has even created a very good consumer checklist and you can get a printable version by clicking here.
