Brothers and Sister, this is an important announcement from the Health and Welfare Trustees of Local 704

Cyberattack on Change Healthcare, Inc.   Health Choices, the Claims Administrator for the Local Union No. 704 I.B.E.W. Health and Welfare Fund (“Welfare Fund”), has reported that a significant data breach was recently identified by Change Healthcare, Inc. (CHC), a company that provides a variety of services to Health Choices.  This breach was the result of a February 21, 2024, cyberattack against CHC.  Although the breach includes personal health information (PHI) of members of plans administered by Health Choices, at this time the Trustees have not been notified that any member or dependent covered by the Welfare Fund was included in the breach.  CHC is presently working to identify affected individuals and plans to mail written letters to affected individuals for whom CHC has a sufficient address.   To learn more about the breach click here.   CHC is offering two (2) years of free credit monitoring and identity theft services to any individual who believes their information may have been impacted by the breach.  The Trustees are keenly aware of how important your PHI is to you and encourage you to take advantage of these services by visiting changecybersupport.com.    The Trustees regret any inconvenience or concern that this situation has caused and want to reiterate that the issue here was not a result of any error by the Trustees of the Welfare Fund.  The Trustees are committed to providing quality care, including protecting your PHI, and want to assure you that they expect vendors working with the Welfare Fund to exercise the highest level of caution.  If you have questions or need help, you should call CHC at 1-866-262-5342 or Health Choices at 1-800-747-8900 or visit the Health Choices website at www.healthchoicesplans.com.
