Question

tyson has been asked by dr. crist to establish policies and procedures to protect patients from identity theft. which of the following is not an identity theft alert?
multiple choice
a patient requests a change of address.
a patient is billed for a service she did not receive.
the name on a check is different from the patients name.
medical record of treatment is consistent with physician exam.

Explanation:

• A patient requesting a change of address is a normal administrative procedure and not inherently an identity - theft alert.
• A patient being billed for a service not received could indicate someone using their identity to fraudulently obtain services.
• A check with a different name than the patient's could imply identity - related financial fraud.
• If the medical record of treatment is consistent with the physician exam, it is a normal and non - suspicious situation (but this option is not the non - alert. The non - alert is the address change).

Answer:

A. A patient requests a change of address.
