Medco? Really now come on. I got a call at the wee hours of the night from this number. I suggest those of you that believe this is Medco give them all of the personal information that they ask for...maybe even a few credit card numbers and checking account routing number.
The associate I spoke with provided me with my information (name and birthday only), and only asked that I verify. He told me the prescriptions that I was on (the names and the dosage), then verified the changes I had made on their website previously. Take off your tinfoil hat and stop being so paranoid :).
I got a call from this number and it wasn't a scam or anything. It was just them calling and letting me know that I could save money on my current prescriptions by switching to a generic/comparable medicine and having Medco fill the prescriptions (in 3-month orders) instead of going to my retail location.
Below where it says "Call Type", I put "Unknown" because none of the other options fit the call.. it was a ligitimate call!
This is phone number (201-891-1029) is just an automated phone line that calls out from the Medco Home Delivery Pharmacy. The call is being made to verify your address as 99% of the time your doctor has faxed/phoned in a prescription that didn't have enough info on it to get it sent to the patient. As there are a lot of regulations about what can be said or not said about someones' Individual Health Information, the call will usually just come thru as call MEDCO. If you have concerns, as I would too, just call the number on the back of your prescription card. Say "representative" and then don't answer the machine, then you will get a rep. They will ask some minimal information, just to make sure they are not giving your health info or your ID number to the wrong person. When you call the number on your card, you will get the Call Center not the Pharmacy. The Pharmacy really doesn't take calls. If you don't call back in several days, your prescription will get cancelled.
