A trash bin in Longwood, Fla. near Orlando has revealed boxes of medical records with photographs, names, Social Security numbers and personal information about chiropractic patients in Lawrence, Mass. treated by Prestige Pain Management and Physical Therapy. The discarded records were discovered in an industrial park.
Investigators from the Lawrence Auto Insurance Fraud Task Force inspected the documents at the Longwood Police Department. Until 2003, Prestige operated a clinic in Lawrence.
The boxes contain medical files of patients treated at Lawrence and Hyde Park clinics between 2001 and 2003.
After taking the records as potential evidence Oct. 19, Longwood detectives notified Lawrence police and told them it would cost about $800 to ship the documents.
Romero decided it would be cheaper to have investigators fly to Florida to inspect the records.
