Credit Monitoring for Clients

Who can enroll?

 

Clients who have received services from Central Health at any time over the last 13 years are being offered access to credit monitoring services for a period of two (2) years from the date of enrollment, at no cost to them. Current and former employees, who have also been clients, do not need to sign up with Equifax twice, and should enroll for the Equifax service as current or former employees.

​

A client is a person who receives health–care services.

For those living outside of Canada, coverage will depend on the availability of the service in their region. This service allows individuals to monitor their credit and identity information, as well as detect and respond to fraudulent credit activity.
