OMG at some of these comments!!! You DO realize that TennCare IS Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee, right?! Anyway, TennCare is just the name of the BCBS plan that you are on. You don't have to be financially disadvantaged for an insurance company to call you with an automated message reminding you to stay current on your check-ups!
It's not a finance department or bill collector!!!
Calm down & hit ignore! Or better yet, send them an email and ask them to take you off their calling list. FYI, the DNC list doesn't apply if you agreed to receive calls (probably from checking a box or "initialing here" without reading the entire statement) from a company whom obviously provides health services to you.
I am not sure it was TennCare or not as I wasn't close enough to get the phone.
Makes sense. I am in Tennessee and it is the area code next to me, and I just recently signed up with Home Hospice. Nurses come in twice a week to make sure my meds are keeping me free of pain, checking my "regular" health and seeing if I needed anything else.
By the way; I had to go through a couple of these until I found the one I liked. Be careful if you need to get yourself, loved one, etc... into one of these.
It is HOME Hospice, Not Home Health. Big difference. Educate yourself.
So, I am guessing it is TN Care because they are our States health care service, for the poor.
Why they are calling me, I can't help you. I have great health insurance from my disability retirement.
Maybe when someone gets enrolled in Home Hospice the state calls up and wants to know if I am happy or whatever with my service. Who knows.
I see that the last write up was Dec 09. Surely, by now, someone would have figured out who these people are.
Yes! I got this call today (09/19/10), but I didn't answer it. I was thinking, if it's important, they would leave a voice mail. No. Looks like from reading other postings that they are with TENN CARE???
Ok, so I was wrong. They did leave a voice mail. It was an automated message about Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee. I suppose it was for marketing purposes. I am a member of this insurance. Looks like I need to remove my contact number from their "calling list!"
