I received a call from this number, ran like crazy (I'm 67 yrs. old) to answer as I was expecting a call back from my doctor & it was a hang up, no message.
This is United Health Care Sales Office. They call to offer you their different plans when you reach the age of 65. I have had them as our provider for over 20 years through work and now thru Medicare Supplemental Insurance. They have been very good in the past and I am looking forward to working with them as I go from cobra to medicare supplemental insurance. I can not complain about them so far. It is up to the person who takes insurance when they turn 65 to choose the plan that works best for them. These folks working there are only doing their job. I signed up with them thru AARP. and my insurance agent. Medicare government itself regulates the rules on all of the different options available for medicare insurance, not so much the insurance company. But when you also get the medicine part, you can choose to go with the same company who is going to be for your medical or a different company. All parts of medicare insurance do not have to be with the same provider. Medicine is different rules altogether. Shop around to see who is best for you and if you want to use their mail in pharmacy or a regular drugstore or a discount broker like target, walmart, etc. It's all about your nickel. Having an insurance agent that represents more than just one insurance company is the best. That way they can shop around for you and see what fits your medical needs best. Just be careful when ;you choose. Choose as if you are really sick and want to keep them forever. By the time your 65, things can change overnight and you do not want to be stuck with a medical bill you can not afford, AGAIN DO NOT DO THIS WITHOUT AN INSURANCE AGENT. They are free, so go for it. It is their job to look out for you and to help you or your helper understand how serious your choice is when you join a plan. Any doubts about your agent, get a new one, as what they explain to you will affect you for the rest of your life.Been there done that.
