For me it is the same MO for these shysters. Late afternoon calls, no messages. HOWEVER, the calls began after I sent in a Request For Coverage form for one of my prescripts including a copy of my Dr.'s prescription. It is bad enough to have to take chemical allopathic medicines as it is, but I sure as ^%#* do not want to purchase them from this annoying, soliciting controlling Big Pharma pharmacy. I am OPSEC savvy so NO ONE who does not identify themselves or who does not put anything writing will EVER get my personal data. And here is the kicker - since Jan. 2013 there is a whole list of non-controlled meds that neither United nor Medco will cover any longer. This clever tactic is a 2-pronged effort for them to get your business in place of your familiar pharmacies that you trust, AND to mine your data, know your demographic, usage, type of med (read - know your diagnosis! which is against all HIPPA laws) and to find you in the event you do not pay your bill to them as you lay dying. Now, imagine how these sly, corporate machinations will accelerate after Obamacare kicks in......
Interesting that ever since I starting getting prescriptions thru Medco/Express RX, I'm getting similar out-of-state calls like some of you guys have. I've never had any problems with orders, so I have no idea what their need is to make incessant phone calls if it is truly them. I think Medco is full of it because all these odd calls started at the same time I began using Medco. I call total BS on their claim to not give out/sell customer info. So why do 95% of the posts I've seen on this site and a few others all point to Medco... Medco claims its not them... So how is it NOT possible Medco is not giving out our personal info to a third party for telemarketing?!?!
This number-201-891-1029, is in fact from Medco who now represents Express-scripts and most likely other companies. I received a call from them today and spoke to them, they were informing me of an order placed by my doctor this week and that it has been sent out, which was correct. At no time did they obtain any information from me. It was a legit call.
I just received a call from this number. He stated he was with Medco which is now express scripts. He wanted me to verify my address and DOB. He stated he wanted to give me information to save money on my meds. After reading these posts I did not feel comfortable giving my information. I will call Medco on the phone # that I know is legit.
So,I just called Medco @ the number I know is legit. They do not have any record of them calling me. I would not give out any information to this number. If you have Medco call them direct.
