no, i dont work for medco - but since most of you are checking to see what debt collector is calling you today - which is why i searched the number - i thought i would add that.
This number has called me multiple times a day for the past 2 weeks. Every time I have answered they hang up and they never leave a message. It is frustrating, please stop calling. I'm on a do not call list, I don't take prescription medications, I never give any information over the phone so it is a waste of time trying.
Got a call from this number for the first time today. Read the comments on a bunch of different websites about this number. Then realized the call must be directly related to what happened to me yesterday:
I called in to cancel a mail order service (Proactiv, to be exact). After pressing the obligatory numbers to talk to a service representative, the representative answered: "Hello _____! (My name)." I thought this was curious but went about cancelling my subscription. At the end of the call, the representative asked for my phone number, saying they didn't have it in their records. I asked, "Then how did you know my name?" and she answered that sometimes the number "rolls off" my account and sometimes they can see it and sometimes they can't. Despite that being the sketchiest explanation in the history of telephone transactions, I stupidly gave her my number. Lo and behold, I get a "Medco" call the next day. I have a feeling that Proactiv, and probably a lot of other companies, sell information like phone numbers to a plethora of other companies, and having me re-state my number constituted some sort of consent. In the future, when someone asks me for my number, I'll always ask them why they need it and if I can opt out.
This is indeed one of the Medco Mail Order Prescriptions contact numbers.
Just like with any other large organization, there are multiple phone numbers tied to an entity. I work for a fairly large insurance provider divided into multiple divisons. When I make calls from my phone at the office, the company phone number appears on the Caller ID read-out, NOT our toll free number, NOT my direct line, NOR extension here at the office.
They do robo-call, and that leads to phone calls to the same number at around the same time of day. It is highly unlikely due to the nature of their calls to leave a voicemail. They are dealing with SENSITIVE, PERSONAL health information, take some time and look up 'HIPAA'. If there were to leave a message about your medications at an incorrect phone number, they could be sued.
I have dealt with Medco Mail Order for over 5 years now and it's saved me hundreds of dollars. We've had only two issues in the past but nothing compared to what's posted here. Any new prescriptions are faxed from my doctors office. The pills are shipped and a bill is included with the medications, never pay up front.
