As I understand the issue, some in the medical insurance industry have sent their patients’ digital data on medical insurance claims which would include Soc. Sec. numbers, birthdates, other personal info to countries such as India for digital processing, and the laws we have here in the U.S. that protect our medical and claims info (HIPAA) are not available to protect us when our medical and claims info is accessed by people in India and other outsourced countries, thereby opening up American patients to ID fraud with no recourse in the U.S. courts.

BREAKING DOWN ‘Health Insurance Portability And Accountability Act – HIPAA’
Excerpt:
“The HIPAA ensures that individual health care plans are accessible, portable, and renewable, and it sets the standards and the methods for how medical data is shared across the U.S. health system in order to prevent fraud. It pre-empts state law unless the state’s regulations are more stringent.”
Excerpt:
“This act has been modified since 1996 to include processes for safely storing and sharing patient medical information electronically. The act also has an administrative simplification provision, which is aimed at increasing efficiency and reducing administrative costs by establishing national standards.”
Excerpt:
“Health insurers, health maintenance organizations (HMOs), healthcare billing services and other entities that handle sensitive personal medical information must comply with the standards set by the HIPAA. Noncompliance may result in civil or criminal penalties.”
