I just received a call from this number. They asked a lot of very specific questions and already knew a lot of information about my business. I was very uncomfortable with this phone call.
Received a call at work from this number. Caller ID shows M11113311000... (too long for screen to show in entirety). The woman was asking questions about the clinic regarding location, website, phone numbers, email address, etc. She claimed to be from Vet Healthcare Network, updating their information, but she didn't introduce herself before asking me questions, I had to ask who she was. A google search also brought up no results for "Vet Healthcare Network", or "Veterinary Healthcare Network". I declined to answer further questions and hung up. No idea whether it was legit or not, but the information I gave her is all publicly available.
I received the same call a couple minutes ago but it was a guy (it sounded almost like a robovoice?). He (it) said he needed my organizations email then when I said we don't give that out he said they need it to get CEUs. I'm a coder at my facility and do need CEUs but needless to say I hung up. They called back almost immediately again and I just hung up and put on the reject list. That was the funny thing they called my personal cell phone number. I'm wondering if they got a membership list from one of the national coding organizations I belong to? Either way since it's coming from Florida I suspect it's fraudsters trying to get medical practice data to do fraudulent billing. Don't forget all the news stories about Medicare fraud seem to be centered in Florida.
I too am a medical coder in Ohio and came here as a result of googling the number as it was calling me. I never answered, so I was just looking for comments regarding who was calling me. I would assume it does have something to do with medical coding. I would NEVER give out the information that is listed above, so good job to those who didn't.
Our office just received a call from the same number, caller ID said ELI RESEARCH, requesting to "clarify" our billing department's information. We informed them that we would be unable to provide them the information and hung up. Fishy.
