What was exposed
It varies by person. For some patients it was only a name and Social Security number. For others it may also include bank account information, medical information or health insurance information.
A Social Security number plus a name is what criminals need to apply for credit in someone's name. Health insurance details can be used for medical identity theft, where someone else gets care billed to your plan.
What TRA says it's doing
TRA says it has no evidence the information has been misused. It is offering 12 months of free credit monitoring and identity protection to affected people.
What to do if you were in it
- 1
Read your notice and sign up for the monitoring
If you got a letter from TRA, it explains what was exposed for you and how to enroll in the 12 months of free credit monitoring it offers. The FTC recommends taking up free monitoring when it's offered.
- 2
Freeze your credit at all three bureaus
A Social Security number was exposed for some patients. Per the FTC, a credit freeze is free and lasts until you lift it. Place it separately at Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.
- 3
Check your insurance statements
Read every explanation of benefits from your health plan. Report care or claims you don't recognize to your insurer.
- 4
Watch your bank accounts
If the letter says bank account information was involved, review your statements and tell your bank about anything you didn't authorize.
- 5
Expect scam calls and texts that mention the breach
Don't click links or give details to anyone who contacts you first. Report identity theft at IdentityTheft.gov, the FTC's reporting site.
