Just got a call from here (206) 582-7956
WA, USA. The woman Debbie said she was from a, "Medical Assistance Program." She tried to sell me topical pain creme.
She first told me she was calling people with chronic pain offering a topical pain creme. Saying, I wouldn't have to pay for it because it would be covered be my insurance. She kept asking for my Doctor's information to fax him a prescription. I said, no thanks, but I'll take your info down to ask my Dr. She went on repeating everything she said, after anything I said. I hung up.
This is why I rarely ever pick up the phone from an unfamiliar number. But I'm worried someday it could be a family emergency calling from a pay phone or someone's cell phone.
I also just got a call from 206-582-7956 from a man claiming they got my number from my dr through a pain form I had filled out. He also talked about a topical pain cream they wanted to send me and that I wouldn't have to pay, they would bill my insurance. In the background I heard talking and laughing and I asked him what was all that noise in the background. He stated it was his coworkers, I told him I wasn't comfortable giving any infor over phone, that how was I to know they were legit, he then gave me to a female named Vanessa. We talked about how the company gets referrals from physicians for pain management and took my name address and dr's phone #. She sounded legit but I didn't give her my ins info I told her I had lost my card and was waiting for a replacement. I got her # 855-809-0375 ext124 and told her I'd call her back with info once I received my card. We hung up and I called # back a woman answered stating customer service how may I help you. I asked what company this was, she stated she handles several companies, i asked do you deal with Medication Assistance she said yes, I said thank you and hung up. I proceed to call my dr office and spoke with the manager. He stated it was a scam call that they never refer or sell patients info to outside companies without letting their patients know. I now know I won't be calling that company back.
