About this data type
Health and medical data breaches expose some of the most sensitive personal information — diagnoses, treatment histories, prescription records, insurance information, and mental health records. Medical identity theft can result in incorrect information in your medical records, which can affect treatment decisions and insurance coverage. HIPAA requires specific notification procedures for healthcare data breaches.
Risk level: High — Medical identity theft can have long-lasting consequences. Review your Explanation of Benefits statements and contact your insurer if you see unfamiliar claims.
