Physician's Practice - November 2008 - (Page 20) NOTE WORTHY THE GODFATHER OF ALL THEFTS Watch out, the mob may have a hit out on your medical records. The Federal Trade Commission says that 3 percent of financial identity theft victims are also subjected to medical identity theft. Organized crime groups and fraudulent billing companies use stolen medical records (often taken by healthcare institution employees) to defraud Medicare, Medicaid, and private payers. Check out the World Privacy Forum’s Web site for some tips on how to protect your records. (www.worldprivacyforum.org). DOC, IT HURTS WHEN I BLOW LIKE THIS If a patient comes to you complaining of tuba lips or guitar nipples, will you know what to do? If not, consider adding “Performing Arts Medicine” to your bookshelf. Coauthored by two physicians and a medical director, this book offers diagnosis and treatment guidelines for doctors who care for musicians, as well as useful injury-avoidance tips to pass on to your musical patients. Tip: Wait for the soon-tobe-released paperback. Even at $99, that’s a steal compared to the $400-plus you’ll shell out for the hardcover version.
