Medical Identity Theft

An example of how disruptive medical identity theft can be. Any victim of medical identity theft needs a properly trained advocate\investigator to put the pieces back together and make the victim whole again.

A personal quote from the victim in this story:
"All of our medical information is reported to the MIB (Medical Information Bureau) which is located in Boston, MA. Who in turn aggregate or gather together this information from every procedure or doctor's visit we go on. Someone using our information can and does alter our files. If I am admitted to a hospital in an incapaciated state, I am at the mercy of what my medical history states or mis-states."
