Medical identity theft, the fastest growing form of identity theft, occurs when someone's personal information, like their name, Social Security number, or Medicare number, is stolen. Criminals or fraudulent providers use those medical identities to get medical care, buy drugs, or submit false billings to Medicare/Medicaid under that stolen name.
