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 don't check this site because I don't pay my bills, I do it either because I ignore or missed a call from an unknown number. I don't like dealing with telemarketers and often when they find that you will answer the calls only get more frequent.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield health insurance calling to just say if you have health issues please don't forget to bring them up with your doctor on your next visit. And if they are serious to immediately contact the nearest emergency room. So just a reminder to tell the doctor what all is going on.
I just got off the ttelephone with this number 423-535-5600
It is Blue Cross -Blue Shield of Tennessee.
I was on a conference call for my job, ( self emplooyed ) and I got a call on my main phone line from this number that caused total chaos with my conference call.
I called this number and they answered Blue Cross-Blue Shield, asked for my subscriber number.
Not telling them who I was they knew by accessing my file with my subscriber number.
The lady told me it was an automated call to check on my wellness, etc. etc.
I flew into the poor lady for the fact I had previously told them to put me on their internal do not call list for marketing and other puropses, except official billing, medical purposes.
I went thru a supervisor after the initial lady who assured me I would'nt get any more soliciting calls.
It is BCBS of TN...I am a subscriber of theirs and live in middle Tn. My call was an automated voice message reminding me to get my wellness exam with my PCP and my annual female wellness, as well as yearly mammograms. I have received maybe 2 calls per year as I am the only subscriber in my household. It actually reminds me to to get my checkups, so I don't mind. On the other hand, if I were the lady above with 6 children and they left that many too detailed messages, that would not tolerated and they would hear from me very vocally. Hope this helps.
