Medical Information Bureau?

I requested my record for grins from these guys http://www.mib.com/ and came up with nothing?

Any ideas what other companies collect insurance billing data?

A single digit error is all it takes.

I guess. How many people have my social security #?

 

[bbchien]

How many people have competent staff who can type in a punctuated ten digit number with reliable accuracy?

Here's some info from the site which explains why no information was found:
Not everyone has an MIB Consumer File.

Individuals will not have an MIB Consumer File unless they have applied for individually underwritten life, health, disability income, critical illness or long-term care insurance with an MIB member company in the last seven years. Many individuals do not have an MIB Consumer File because of one or more of the following: (i) they applied to an insurance company that was not an MIB member; (ii) they applied for insurance that was not individually underwritten; or (iii) they applied for insurance more than seven years ago.


As a practical matter, MIB codes are not typically reported on individuals who are in good health, meaning that their life and health insurance applications are approved by the insurer as standard or preferred risks.

I also requested a MIB report. Nothing on record. All the info I submitted was correct. 61 years old.

I suspect it's because I've never had anything but term life without an exam and Kaiser for the last 15 years.

This web site is a gold mine of mostly good information! I knew something like this existed, but I didn't know I could see the record.

I just ordered my copy.

Thanks!!

MIB = Men In Black - they have their own website? Isn't that like having a neon sign out front saying "Top Secret Headquarters"?

(Actually I've been involved for years in network management protocols and MIB always meant "Management Information Base." Paired with the SNMP protocol.)

Hey, I deal with automotive VIN numbers all day long.... so there!

(no worse than the folks who call me for help with their car or truck.... and then don't know anything about the vehicle.... or even which part they need)

Just imagine being those same people's psychologist. At least you can shove them out of the way and look at the car.

Is there any reliable source for accessing all medical insurance billing records on oneself, or is a search like that the sole purview of big brother (FAA, Obamacare, etc)?

 

[bbchien]

Nope, go back to the other string and report your OUI. Seriously. They already know. You do have a problem. You just don't know which one.

If you choose to lie, you will have sealed the fact that you don't belong on a flight deck anywhere in the USA. And they WILL find out.

The only thing in my record was a note of an inquiry from a life insurance company requesting my record.

Just got a letter today in response to my request of the men in black - they have nothing at all on me under my given name and birth date.
