Rossen Reports: Protect yourself after the Change Healthcare breach

Hello. Yes, I have received several emails from you recently about the *** new health care crime you are concerned about here are just a few examples. Our viewer Marie said she just received a *** violation notice in the mail from health care reform. Can you tell me if this is true? Our viewer Karen also wrote. I want to know if the letter I am getting from health care exchange in the mail about *** data breach is legal or not. Our audience booth also received a letter asking me, is it a *** scam and we have others too? But you get the point. Here is what I can tell you. Yes, this crime is real. It is accurate and highly flexible. Health care is researching its scope. But the CEO told Congress back in May that *** a third of Americans can work. A lot of people you probably haven’t heard about health care reform, right? But it is owned by United Health Group and handles 15 billion medical claims every year. So it’s great. They first discovered the breach in February, but started sending letters to victims in late July, and have been publicizing them ever since. That’s why some of you are changing them. Health care says it’s possible things like health information, payment information, personal information, such as social security numbers have been removed. So what should you do? Start by checking your statements that you get from health care providers, even if it doesn’t say who the change is above anyone who provides health care because it could be behind. Also check your bank and credit card statements for any unusual occurrences. You should also monitor your credit report. I’ve told you this before, but it bears repeating. You are entitled to *** a free credit report every week from each of the three major credit bureaus. They are Experian Equifax and Transunion. It was only for one year, but it was permanently changed to weekly last year as an additional protection, you can also freeze your loan. That’s what I do. I freeze my credit and just open it. If I’m going to buy a car to do that. Easy links to all of these with other tips on my Rawson report.com website. And if you have any questions for me, email me here at Rawson Answers at hearst.com. Encourage everything to come back to you.
