What Should You Do?

If you received a notice from SunCloud Health, take steps now to protect yourself. Consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze with the three major credit bureaus — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — to make it harder for anyone to open new accounts in your name. Monitor your existing financial accounts for unusual activity and request your free credit reports at AnnualCreditReport.com. If you learn that health or medical information was among the data involved, review your Explanation of Benefits statements and medical records for any services you did not receive, and report any suspicious activity to IdentityTheft.gov. Because SunCloud Health provides behavioral health treatment, stay alert to any unexpected communications that may reference your treatment history.
