Cedars-Sinai Employee May Have Stolen Patient IDs
Cedars-Sinai Employee May Have Stolen Patient IDs
Personal information was found last week in a search of the former employee's home. James Wilson, 44, had been employed by the medical center in the billing department, and was arrested November 6 in connection with the scheme. He pleaded not guilty to charges of insurance fraud, identity theft, grand theft and other charges. He is currently lodged in a Los Angeles County jail on $895,000 bail.
The medical center warned the affected patients in a letter sent last week. The District Attorney's office is continuing its investigation to determine the extent of the fraud and whether additional charges are warranted.
