Here is a link to the Equifax 90 day, free fraud alert. I've been doing this for years and it works very well. When you submit the form, they will notify TransUnion and Experian for you. Very easy, but you do have to remember to resubmit this every 90 days. If you do try to open credit, e.g., finance a car, the finance company will give you a phone call to confirm and ask a couple of questions that come from your credit report. Those questions tend to be about who you have existing loans with and what the monthly payments are.
I noticed that on all three credit bureau web sites, they have buried the free information and are trying to sell services now. If you do the 90 day fraud alert, it should get you through until the Anthem package arrives.
