Retired agent Larry Guerin reviews a health care fraud investigation involving an emergency medical technician (EMT) who stole Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) protected patient information, such as Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, and phone numbers, and then tried to sell it back to managers of private ambulance companies. The case would have been only the second prosecution against an individual under the new statute. However, the case ended tragically before the subject was officially charged. Larry Guerin served in the FBI for 28 years.
