1. Protect clients and yourself from cyber attacks Cyber criminals are targeting advisors’ computers and email accounts. They are targeting advisors because you have detailed financial information about clients. These attacks put you and clients at risk by exposing private financial data, allowing unauthorized withdrawal attempts, and easing identity theft. A breach can lead to financial loss and a damaged reputation.
   
   How to stay safe:
   • Use strong security: Turn on multi-factor authentication, change your passwords often, and make sure passwords are unique.
   • Install antivirus or internet software: Use trusted programs such as Norton or McAfee to protect your computer.
   • Keep everything updated: Make sure your computer’s operating system and software are up to date.
   • Get expert help: Ask an IT professional to check your security system.
   • Be careful online: Take cybersecurity training to learn about new threats. Don’t click on suspicious links, including from people you don’t know.
   • Have cyber insurance: This can help protect you if something goes wrong. You can usually get it through your E&O provider.
   
   Remember: Cyber criminals also target the public, including client email accounts. They may use a client’s email to send you requests that look real. Call clients to confirm emailed requests, especially if someone asks to withdraw money or change banking information.
   
   Our clients trust you with their financial future. Do everything you can to keep their information safe.

   Equitable Life helps tackle benefits fraud through Joint Provider Fraud Investigation (JPFI) initiative*

   Protecting your clients’ plans is important to us. That’s why Equitable Life is working with other Canadian life and health insurers to conduct joint investigations into health service providers that are suspected of fraudulent activities through the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association’s (CLHIA’s) Joint Provider Fraud Investigation (JPFI) initiative. This collaborative initiative between major Canadian life and health insurers through the CLHIA is a major step toward reducing benefits fraud in the life and health benefits insurance industry. 

   How the JPFI works

   The JPFI builds on the 2022 launch of a CLHIA-supported industry program. The program uses advanced artificial intelligence to help identify fraudulent activity across an industry pool of anonymized claims data. Joint investigations will examine suspicious patterns across this data.
    
   Through this project, Equitable Life can initiate a request to begin a joint fraud investigation when we: 
   • See suspected provider fraud in our own data or the pooled data, or
   • Receive a substantiated tip about potential provider fraud 
   Other life and health insurers that have joined the JPFI will then have the option to join the investigation if they are also impacted by the provider under investigation. By sharing expertise and resources across insurers, the participating carriers will be able to determine the most appropriate next steps. 

   How Equitable Life protects your clients’ benefits plans from fraud

   Benefits fraud is a crime that affects insurers, employers and employees and puts the sustainability of workplace benefits at risk. CLHIA estimates that employers and insurers lose millions each year to benefits fraud and abuse.
   
   Our Investigative Claims Unit (ICU) consists of security and fraud experts who use data analytics and artificial intelligence to proactively identify and investigate suspicious billing patterns or claims activity to open investigations. We de-list healthcare providers who are engaged in questionable or fraudulent practices, pursue the recovery of improperly obtained funds, and report practitioners to regulatory bodies and law enforcement where appropriate.

   Second phase of TELUS eClaims transition*

   In June 2022, we switched to TELUS Health eClaims as our digital billing provider to give our plan members a faster and more convenient option for submitting paramedical and vision claims. The switch has allowed our plan members to take advantage of TELUS’s extensive network of over 70,000 paramedical and vision providers.
    
   We’ve now begun the second phase of our TELUS Health eClaims implementation. This phase will focus on improving the experience for paramedical and vision providers. We will begin issuing reconciliation statements for the claims they submit on behalf of their patients. These statements will make it easier for them to use the TELUS Health eClaims portal and provide incentive for even more providers to sign up.
    
   Please encourage your clients to remind their plan members about this convenient option. We have created a helpful one-pager that plan members can bring with them next time they have an appointment with their healthcare provider. 
    
   If you have any questions about TELUS Health eClaims, please contact your Group Account Executive or myFlex Sales Manager.
    

   Changes to STD application process for COVID-19 cases*

   As the COVID-19 situation evolves, we continue to adjust our disability management practices to ensure ongoing support and a fair experience for all our plan members.
    
   As of May 1, 2023, we will begin managing COVID-19-related short-term disability (STD) claims the same way that we manage disability claims for any other illness or condition. If a plan member is unable to work due to COVID-19 symptoms or a positive COVID-19 test, they must now use the standard STD application, including the Attending Physician Statement portion.
    
   Once we receive the claim, we will adjudicate it according to our standard process.
    
   If you have any questions, please contact your Group Account Executive or myFlex Sales Manager.
