Nick, Depending on your level of paranoia, you could either call the health care company on a phone number publicly posted on their website and confirm with them that the contents of the email are accurate, or physically show up and do the same. Double checking that the email address corresponds to the email address of the health care company might also help, but isn't really conclusive either way.
You should also double check whether the kroll website they link you to corresponds to the kroll website you find when googling.
