• Watch for official notices from Capitol Pain Institute and review them carefully, as they may contain important details about the specific types of information involved and any protective services being offered.
• Monitor health insurance statements by reviewing Explanation of Benefits documents for any medical services, prescriptions or equipment that were not received, which could be a sign of medical identity theft.
• Request and review medical records from healthcare providers to confirm that all information is accurate and that no unauthorized treatments, diagnoses or prescriptions have been added.
• Check credit reports regularly at AnnualCreditReport.com and look for unfamiliar accounts, inquiries or other signs of potential identity theft.
