Someone named "Hadid" calling "on behalf of a friend" and asked "are you accepting new long term patients for counseling?" I answered yes, and he asked if I'm in network for United. I answered " no, out of network." Two days later, I get the same call- "my name is Hadid, I'm calling on behalf of a friend, are you accepting new patients?" I said "you called me two days ago," and he quickly disconnected the call. If it's an EAP, it sounds very fishy to me. Blocking this caller.
This number calls our office but is screened out as a "nuisance call" but does give them the option of leaving a voice mail message which they never do. Whatever they are selling we aren't buying so they get nothing. Interesting pasttime they have.
Acutally this number appears to be for MHN which is what you get from you company as a benifit.
MHN, Health Net's behavioral health subsidiary, is one of the largest and oldest providers of managed behavioral healthcare and Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) in the United States. We partner with a nationwide provider network of 44,000 licensed practitioners and 1,400 hospitals and care facilities, and operate full-service clinical intake offices in New York, Dallas, San Rafael and Huntington Beach, California. Our workplace solutions, which promote mental and emotional wellness, employee productivity and organizational efficiency, range from EAP and behavioral health to integrated disease management and psychiatric disability programs.
Called and the only response I got was *beep* every few seconds from a recording device. There were numerous calls like this from the same number before I finally refused to even pick up the phone. I looked up the number and apparently they're targetting NON-PROFIT PART TIME WORKERS. I don't know how they got my information, but it can't have been legal. Honestly, sounded like they were some sort of union to me, although they weren't real up-front about it. Supposedly the number belongs to "National Association of Part-Time and Temporary Employees" aka NAPTE. If they try calling me back again, I'll be looking even more closely at how they got my information so as to potentially take legal action against them. I don't appreciate being spammed with distracting phone calls on my work hours, and I don't like wasting my lunch break to file complaints.
