This month for Fraud Prevention Month, the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association (CLHIA) is sharing resources to raise awareness on the importance of fraud prevention when it comes to protecting employer benefits plans.
Canadians deeply value their benefits, which provide access to essential services such as dental care, prescription drugs, and vision care. Recent polling shows that 86 per cent of Canadians find their benefits helpful and valuable, underscoring their importance to both health and financial well‑being.
Preventing fraud is one of the most important ways insurers help keep benefit plans accessible, affordable, and reliable for the 27 million Canadians who depend on them. Fraud can reduce coverage, drive up premiums, and increase costs for individuals, families, and employers.
That is why, this Fraud Prevention Month, the CLHIA is focused on education and awareness—providing practical tools to help consumers and healthcare providers reduce fraud and protect benefit plans.
For consumers, the CLHIA has developed Protect Your Benefits: 10 Tips Every Consumer Should Know, offering simple, practical guidance on using benefits responsibly, protecting personal information, and reviewing claims carefully.
For healthcare providers, the CLHIA’s Fraud Prevention FAQ: What Every Provider Should Know provides clear guidance on accurate and transparent billing, supporting collaboration between providers and insurers to protect patients and the long-term sustainability of benefit plans.
Fraud prevention is a shared responsibility. By staying informed and using benefits as intended, Canadians and healthcare providers can help protect a system that millions rely on every day.
New education resources are available on the CLHIA website.
