It is impossible at this time to determine if this plan will be covered under the FTC statutes of the FCRA
or FACTA or any other Federal or State Consumer Protection statutes.
In the interim, I suggest that everyone avail themselves of any and all resources from this website to
obtain deletions of delinquent medical accounts from their credit reports.
In addition, the following preemptive steps may be taken if you have been hospitalized or treated as an outpatient
at any hospital within the past 6 years.
Obtain your MIB records:
MIB RECORD REQUEST
Send the following to any HOSPITAL that shows a date of service within the past 6 years.

To whom it may concern;
With regard to my signed HIPAA authorization(s)
Under the HIPAA Privacy Rule you are required to disclose PHI to me upon my request to access PHI or for an
accounting or certain disclosures of PHI about myself.
You were also allowed, under Incidental Disclosures, to use or disclose PHI incident to a use or disclosure permitted by HIPAA
Privacy Rule so long as you had reasonably safeguarded against such incidental uses and disclosures and had
limited them to the minimum necessary information.
Please withdraw my authorization under the HIPAA disclosure obtained for any and all PHI regarding any of my services as listed
at your facility.
Date Of Service xx/xx/xxxx
The purpose of this withdrawal of authorization is to prohibit my PHI records from being provided to any type of
credit data service or credit rating service as proposed under the "MedFico" plan.
Very truly yours,
