由第一段“InMarch2008,JoeRyangotanoticefromabillingagencyforahospitalnearDenver,Colorado.Thehospitalwantedpaymentforsurgerytotaling$41,188.”可知,thebillingagency通知JoeRyan支付手术费用41,188美元,故答案为B。

B.abiglossofmoneyanddamagetocreditrating
C.thewidelyspreadmedicalinformationofthevictim
D.thedifficultyinchangingthewrongmedicalhistory
答案解析:
答案为C。
本题为推理题。
由第五段可知,当别人盗用了你的名字来享受医疗服务后,他的医疗史就成为了你的医疗史,并且清除这些错误记录极其困难,因为你的信息已经给了许多照料者,包括医生、药店、保险公司和实验室。
因此,医疗身份盗窃更糟糕的结果是受害者的医疗信息到处传播。
故答案为C。
干扰项最强的D选项“改变错误的医疗史非常困难”只是医疗身份盗窃的一个直接结果,但不是更糟糕的,因此排除D选项。
