For the past two weeks, I received calls 6 times from this number. Never answered any and call never leave messages. I am pretty sure this another scam or marketing call by reading others comments.
They want specific info about people and their families! They call all over the country to land lines and cell numbers. Harrassing citizens of the U.S. a minimum of 1 or 2 calls a day. They claim to be Registered Nurses. No self- respecting nurse will try to obtain personal information from so many people in the manner that THEY approach. I say they are a bunch of scammers harrassing, and are scuzzy people that are trying to collect YOUR personal info. They will tell you what you want to hear, especially that they work for YOUR health insurer! Anyone who is a RN trying to check up on your health status will be their at YOUR request, not them trying to hunt you down over the phone and get your info. This might sound a bit crazy, but carefully read some of the posts. You can tell that this outfit even monitors complaints about itself and trys to continue with covering up what they are trying to accomplish, WHICH IS SCAMMING EVERYDAY U.S. CITIZENS OUT OF THEIR PERSONAL INFO! Now they will respond with some B.S. about, "We are a group of registered nurses from blah blah blah trying to help you, is your spouse there?, Would you any addtional info for your child/children? We know you're not interested, but we can get info for your family. Let me talk to your spouse. My name? Well...I'm not supposed to say....,but it's Jane. Do you want my last name?" "No thank you. I'm not interested, or I received the info from my work". Does NOT work!!! Their response is " We'll call back (usually 3 months from now) to check up on you." What a bunch of B.S.! This scam operation is out of control. FYI they are watching. By me complaining they will just go the extra step to cover their tracks and maybe slip. And that's what I am wanting them to do!!!!!!! This is chess, not checkers.
This is a call from a nurse in regards to any health concerns you have stated on a survey through your employer health program. We do not have blue cross, we have principal. They will send you pamphlets in regards to any health issues you have and then follow up with you to see how you are doing. This is part of our EAP (employee assistance program) which varies from legal assistance to health assistance and just about everything in between. I have used them for stop smoking techniques. They sent me the information I requested and provided me with a number to call to speak with a nurse 24/7 to help me in any way I needed to get me through the process.
I just spoke someone who called me from this number. They were with my health insurance. She told me that people get flagged if certain medications or illnesses come up on their screen. The means that they call to educate the person on how to manage the medication or illness. I think it's a pretty good service. I have one of those medications and was listed as diabetic. I don't have diabetes and she removed me from her list. But I would have welcomed being able to talk to someone with any questions I would have had. If you want to be taken off their list, simply talk to the person calling you and they will do that.
This is a legitimate service offered by my son's health insurance (Lifewise of Washington - Premerra). My son came down with Diabetes almost two years ago and they have been very helpful and often send us pamplets or flyers on everything from diet to eye care to immunizations to anything else we may have questions about. They are quite helpful!
Now for the annoying part... They have the ability to call only during specific time frames that you can specify, but if for some reason or another you can't answer the phone, they keep calling...over and over... and over... until they can finally contact you. If it goes on long enough, the computers will call outside the specified time frame in order to get a hold of you.
But when they do get a hold of you, they are usually really nice about apologizing about the intrusion and will let you go without trying to continue the conversation, and try to call back later when you aren't busy. Even if they call during the specified time, they ask if you have the time to talk to them and if you don't, they are nice about letting you go.
NEVER have they asked for money or for me to buy anything or sign up for something! It is a completely free service that seems to me to be a way that insurance companies can help avoid future doctor's visits by helping you understand and manage certain health issues. (In this case, my son's diabetes.)
I'm not sure, but I do not think this is exclusive to my son's insurance either. It seems to be an outside service outfit that any insurance company can hire for this service.
