Your Rights and Next Steps
If you were affected by the Central Ozarks Medical Center data breach, there are important steps you can take to protect yourself and your information. First, consider enrolling in the free credit monitoring and identity protection services being offered. This can help detect any suspicious activity on your credit report or financial accounts.
It is also recommended to regularly review your bank accounts, health savings accounts and credit card accounts for unauthorized transactions. Check your explanation of benefits statements from your health insurance company and follow up on any unfamiliar items. You can request a year-to-date report of all services paid for you as a beneficiary from your insurance company.
Federal law entitles you to a free copy of your credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus every 12 months.
If you notice any suspicious activity, report it to the credit bureaus, law enforcement, your state's attorney general and the Federal Trade Commission. You may also consider placing a fraud alert or security freeze on your credit file to make it harder for identity thieves to open new accounts in your name.
