Steps to take if your information was exposed
Because this breach involved a health care company that handles protected health information, plan members and their families should consider several steps to protect against potential misuse of personal and medical data.
- Review Explanation of Benefits statements carefully. Look for any medical services, prescriptions or equipment that were not actually received, as these could be signs of medical identity theft.
- Check Medicare claims for unfamiliar activity. Visit Medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) to review recent claims and look for charges related to services that were never provided.
- Request free credit reports at AnnualCreditReport.com. Review reports from Equifax, Experian and TransUnion for any accounts or inquiries that are not recognized.
- Consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze. Contact any one of the three major credit bureaus to place a fraud alert, or place a credit freeze with each bureau individually to restrict access to credit reports.
- Be cautious of phishing attempts that reference Longevity Health Plan or this breach. Scammers sometimes use news of a data breach to send fraudulent emails, letters or phone calls designed to steal additional personal information.
- Alert caregivers and family members. Because many affected individuals may reside in long-term care facilities, family members or designated representatives who help manage health care should stay informed and watch for any signs of identity theft on the member's behalf.
