Patients at Kaiser are being warned to be on the lookout for identity theft.

Kaiser is sending letters to 160,000 patients apologizing and warning that some personal information has been compromised.

The HMO explained that a laptop computer containing a database about hearing aid benefit patients was stolen from Kaiser headquarters in Oakland.

The missing data includes names, addresses, dates of birth, medical record numbers and the locations of clinics where patients receive care.
