Same kind of experience as others have posted here, but in a messages left on my answering machine the scammer represented himself as calling from Harvard Pilgrim HMO with 'important information' He asked for a relative who is not at my telephone number. He said his name is Gary . . . (last name something like Coleman or Goldman). He is listed as originating in Maryland, though the call-back number he left is an 844 number and is not a Harvard Pilgrim number. I'll block this number
I received a call from INOVALON 1-410-953-8310 on July 22nd 2015 at 9:18 CST. The person wanted to talk to my wife and said that she was calling from Anthem Blue Cross & Blue Shield and she had a reminder for Linda. I said I was Linda's husband and I was Linda's authorized representative on all of Linda's Insurances and I handle all of Linda's health care. She said I'm sorry I can't give you that information. I said you have to give me that info, I am Linda's legal authorized representative. She said she couldn't, I then asked her for her name her title, her bosses name and title. She said we're not Anthem wer'e a third party representing Anthem. I said yeah I bet you are Goodbye and hung up.
Actually that is not quite true. When you sign up with any Health Insurance Company, you are giving them the ability to view your medical records whenever they like. This also grants any company working as a business partner or a 3rd party with the health plan those same rights. Contact your health Insurer and tell them that you would like to mark your records as private and not be included in any reimbursement project that they may conduct. If you are a part of Medicare or Medicaid, your records (all records) are viewable unless you say otherwise. No your rights, read the small print.
I received the call today and never answer calls from numbers I do not know. They left a message stating they are from Anthem Blue Cross and they have very important information regarding my 16 year old son. He's had several medical tests done lately so I though maybe it was accurate but now that I have read these posts I will not call back. Thanks for everyone posting! It helps us all. I am going to report the call.
Called my cell phone. No ID, no message left. My phone app said it was in Maryland. I am a Blue Cross Medicare Supplement client. I started getting these calls just this week, from other spammers. I put them on my auto reject list.
