Patty - ID and University Hospital in Indianapolis

[Guest guest]

Hi Patty,

When I went to the hospital no-one photocopied my driver's

license...but then that could be my fault as I didn't have it with me.

I never needed it before for doctor's appointments and never

thought that I would need it there. I try not to carry it with me

unless I think I really need it - it has been years since I was ever

carded and that is the only time I have ever needed it in the past.

As far as if the clinic that my impersonator went to......we are still

waiting to hear back from them. I am thinking that if they verify

that they have " my " chart on file I am going to request a copy of it

(seeing that it is in my name) and hope that there are some very

different physical attributes which will make it easy to refute her

claim that she is me.

It has the potential to be a very big mess........But I am still

remaining cautiously optimistic that it is just one big clerical

error. If not, you better believe University Hospital in Indianapolis

will be hearing from me.....as well as a bunch of law

enforcement investigators I would imagine (HIPPA violation as

well as the whole fraud thing). Especially if their registration

clerks are selling information to the un-insured...........(which is

one hypothesis that has been postulated......). I will very much

regret ever going to that hospital if it ends up that this is where

the problem originated from. Unfortunately there are too many

coincidences that points the finger at them......
