Fortunately, new tools such as biometric patient and provider identification have surfaced. They support a preventative approach that offers a more proactive strategy for stopping healthcare fraud before claims are paid.
Traditionally linked to sci-fi movies and government anti-terrorism efforts, biometrics has become more refined and less expensive. A host of industries around the globe thus are increasingly using biometrics as a practical identification tool.
Biometrics is a versatile tool for preventing fraud at the point of service, but also protecting patient safety and lowering legal liability. Using biometrics to identify patients can greatly enhance hospital initiatives to increase patient safety levels, eliminate identity fraud at the point of care, reduce risk and establish patient-care audit trails.

My wife and some people gives me the business when they see that unless I absolutely have to I do not buy anything with a credit card, I use cash everywhere. When places ask me for email address or phone number I decline or make one up. I do not use my phone to call or text except to check on status of a child or wife, we do not chat. I do not call friends or text them I talk in person like we did when I GREW UP.
The only place online I frequent is here (FR), which has probably gotten me on enough lists as is.
