Very interesting to read about the company I work for Healthstream Reasearch. This is a wonderful company to work for and we are doing research that is required by law for the hospitals we represent. We have a lot of interviewers and unfortunately not everyone of them is perfect. They are not allowed to leave messages on answering machines. We can't always identify cell phone but won't do a survey on a cell phone unless the respondent gives us permission. We don't have to maintain a do-not-call list since we are calling on behalf of someone the respondent has a relationship with, but we do have a do-not-call list. Unfortunately it is limited to each health care experience. We won't ask any personal questions, just opinions and questions about the quality of care you received. If you don't want to do the survey, just say you don't want to participate. You can't answer for your spouse or your roommate, it has to be the person we are calling. We do use an auto dialer but it is set so there is always someone available to handle the call before it dials. Our founders vision was to improve the way health care is delivered in America and I am proud to be working for this company.
This number keeps calling our house as well. It takes them a minute to start talking so we just hang up. We get all kinds of "unknown" calls throughout the day, it's quite annoying.
I got a call for my son who is in the hospital from a heart attack. The caller ID said Laurel MD when I answered they asked for my son when I told them he was in the hospital the man hung up.
Have received calls from this number at least 4 X now. Since Caller ID shows it's from MD I don't respond but love to put a stop to it. There ought to be a "law"! agains these pesky intruders.
