Steps to take if your information was exposed

• Place a fraud alert or credit freeze with the three major credit bureaus. Contact Equifax at 1-800-525-6285, Experian at 1-888-397-3742 and TransUnion at 1-800-680-7289 to help prevent unauthorized accounts from being opened with the exposed names, dates of birth and addresses.
• Request and review free credit reports. Visit AnnualCreditReport.com to check for any unfamiliar accounts or credit inquiries that could indicate identity theft.
• Review Explanation of Benefits statements from health insurers. Look for any medical services, prescriptions or equipment listed that were not actually received, which could be a sign of medical identity theft.
• Notify your health insurance provider. Let them know that health insurance information may have been exposed so they can flag the account and watch for suspicious claims.
• Be cautious of phishing attempts. Watch for emails, calls or letters that reference Interim Healthcare of West Texas or this breach by name, as scammers sometimes use breach details to craft convincing messages.
• Report any suspected identity theft. File a report with the Federal Trade Commission at IdentityTheft.gov or by calling 1-877-438-4338.
