Medical Identity Theft Protection
In February 2009, the Federal Trade Commission's Identity Theft Prevention Red Flags Rule was enacted. Medical offices are mandated to confirm the patient's identity and validate medical insurance coverage to ensure that identity theft has not occurred. To safeguard your identity, we will make a copy of your valid picture ID issued by a local, state, or federal government agency (driver's license, passport, military ID, etc.) and a copy of your current insurance card to confirm your identity.
* It is the patient's responsibility to confirm that your health insurance is contracted with Southwest Shoulder Elbow and Hand Center, PC since agreements change annually. Please call our office (520) 290-4263 to confirm we are contracted with your insurance company.
Please know that while we do our best to assist patients in any way, if your health insurance is a HMO and requires that you obtain a referral, it is your responsibility to acquire this referral from your Primary Care Physician.
