Expert Advice on Limiting Medical Identity Theft – Kaiser Permanente

For advice on curbing identity theft and the healthcare fraud that often follows on its heels, FierceHealthPayer brought in two experts to speak on an identity theft webinar earlier this year: Marita Janiga, J.D., executive director of the National Special Investigations Unit and Hotline at Kaiser Permanente, and Rebecca Busch, R.N., president and CEO of Medical Business Associates, Inc.

Marita serves on the MIFA board of directors. Reducing exposure to medical identity theft has become a priority for insurers as rising numbers of customers fall victim to this crime.

The session covered identifying red flags, sharing information between providers and payers, steps for payers to take if fraud is suspected, and SSNs as an identifier. Click here to read the full interview transcript.
