[10-8] FOR SALE: INFORMATION EXPOSED

DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)(OC): And now, an ABC News investigation into the fact that some of [1]your most personal, private information, your medical records, could be [2]on sale right now on the internet.  Our senior national correspondent Jim Avila has found millions of these records.  How is it possible?  Who is behind it?  And can be it prevented?

JIM AVILA (ABC NEWS)(VO): I've never met Rafael, but I know [3]his most private information.  From social security number to insurance, even [4]previous illnesses.

RAFAEL (MEDICAL RECORDS FOR SALE): They've got everything from my name, my address, everything.

JIM AVILA (ABC NEWS)(VO): I learned all that because his medical records are [5]for sale against his wishes on the internet.

RAFAEL (MEDICAL RECORDS FOR SALE): I thought my medical records are one of [6]the most confidential records.  I'm shocked.  I'm completely shocked.

JIM AVILA (ABC NEWS)(VO): Here's what Rafael and millions of others don't know.  Those confidential records [7]supposedly protected by federal privacy laws just are not.  An ABC News investigation has found thousands of patient electronic charts for sale.

JIM AVILA (ABC NEWS)(OC): What is it the public doesn't know about their supposedly private medical records?

GREG PORTER (SECURITY SPECIALIST): Your private medical record may not be as private as you think.

JIM AVILA (ABC NEWS)(VO): Greg Porter is [8]a security specialist who tracks medical fraud.  We asked him to show us how easy it is to buy private medical records [9]on the dark side of the internet, with [10]nothing more complicated than public wi-fi at a corner coffee shop.

GREG PORTER (SECURITY SPECIALIST): So we're just going to go to Google here.  We click on one of these URLs and let's see, you know, what happens.  So up pops some information.

JIM AVILA (ABC NEWS)(OC): And this took two clicks.

JIM AVILA (ABC NEWS)(VO): We won't show you the details, but it's all here.  An online price war, [11]each name for sale for $14 to $25 each.  [12]Diabetes patients sell for a premium.  How did they get here?  Today's medical records are largely kept on computer, often available to not just your doctor, but to every nurse, clerk and technician in the hospital.  All it takes is one to sell to the black market.  [13]Valuable leads for medical equipment sales people focusing on diabetic patients who need insulin pumps or prescription drug sales people targeting heart patients with long term drug needs and their doctors.  Plus, with all that personal information, it's also [14]a Medicare fraud gold mine.

DOCTOR DEBORAH PEEL (PATIENT PRIVACY RIGHTS): Now with thousands of employees who can download hundreds of thousands of patient records in an instant, [15]fraud is going to be a growing threat.

JIM AVILA (ABC NEWS)(OC): [16]The federal government has rules against the unauthorized release of medical records, but admit [17]it's a law that suffered nearly 500 large scale breaches, exposing at least 21 million records, Diane.

DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)(OC): Thank you, Jim.
