How we help medical practices with Red Flags Rule Compliance

Escalating identity theft and fraud schemes are leading to unprecedented exposure

 In 2007, the American population spent approximately $23.7 billion on improper Medicare and Medicaid payments. (U.S. Office of Management and Budget, 2008) Medical identity theft comprises about 3 percent (249,000) of 8.3 million overall victims of identity theft. (Federal Trade Commission, Identity Theft Survey Report, 2007) This number is much higher currently with 10 million victims in 2008.  Think of the money that could be saved if your practice did their due diligence. Not only will their money be saved, but the possible lives associated with that.

What would happen if a person received treatment on another person record? There are very real and serious side affects to that situation. The person can receive prescriptions of narcotic drug; resulting to him/her selling the drug or getting an addiction. Also, what if a person received medical surgery on another persons account? You could be faced with an unpaid bill resulting in a loss of income for your practice.

The IDSure Identity Verification Service is tailored to helping people in the medical practice fight identity theft. We have over 40 years of combined experience in the Cybercrimes, Identity Fraud and Law Enforcement arena; and have dealt with many physicians and office managers to develop a system that is quick and simple to use. The process is very unobtrusive and is based on the information that should be presented to the front office before any treatment is given.

If you have 1000 patients who use your services, the odds are that you have provided medical services to an ID Fraudster.

While you can train the staff to look for the signs of Identity Fraud, the single point of failure is taking the documents provided at face value.  Using IDSure removes the human error factor of detecting the red flags and reduces your exposure to fraud.

IDSure removes the doubt that the person you are dealing with is who they say they are.  The process is affordable and take about 30 seconds.  30 seconds for a piece of mind.
