united health care....

i keep getting these calls from a towel head saying they want to come to my house for a home visit for the insurance company. they want to do a physical on me here and then take pics of my house! i've told them NO for 2 years now, told them today that i won't have anyone from anywhere come to my house while this covid chit is still out there. dunno what part of NO they don't understand. i've already had my physical from my doc. and i just had a CT scan on my lungs that show negitive for any cancer, any of ya'll getting calls from them? called "home health care" i think. was told it's a company that insurance companies hire to do back ground checks on people so they will know what to charge for rates. maybe some of you have gone thru it with them?

Talk about the ACA, I was surprised to get a refund from my 2019 insurance. Nothing was ever mentioned during all the huffing and fussing about the ACA becoming law about the clause that mandated the at least 80% of premiums must be paid out in care costs. here in Maryland my insurance carrier did not meet that goal , so they had to pay out rebates  Great to finally get money back from an insurance company for a change

Lou, I googled that, it tells of auto premium reimbursement, I got $50 back on mine, but I couldn’t find anything on healthcare premium reimbursement. I’m pretty sure that would have garnered headlines.

Hay, next time they call, say 'I'm actually moving this week...but would like you to come by, My new address is ....( Pelousy's address). Please come anytime after....Oct 3rd.

whatever you do, never tell any medico you tripped or fell....unless you have a real serious problem!

Shameless. contact your state attorney general's office and tell them you are being harassed by this caller, have the number they are calling from handy. They should be able to tell you if it is a scam or legit. If it is from multiple numbers very likely a scam. Also check your Mediscare statements closely, they may be charging for a visit even if they don't come out. I don't bother to answer my phone if it is from an unknown caller and if I am busy I don't answer most of the ones that are identified. I have a special ringtone and text tone for my wife, daughter and granddaughter and those calls get answered every time.

I had to have a nurse come to my house and do some medical tests when my wife and I got life insurance as I was being added to her policy, we had a baby on the way and figured we would need a better policy. I guessing they checked for things like high BP, cholesterol, diabetes to gauge my general health. This was 20+ years ago and now I understand why as some doctors will write down/prescribe anything, I just need to look at the number of my coworkers who are now on some sort of FMLA intermittent  "disability". Funny how 4 of my coworkers were afflicted with their "problem" on the Monday after the Super Bowl. 

Not old enough but I heard someone say if you are on medicare or one of those advantage plans the companies are supposed to do those wellness checks as part of their agreement. I told them no for the last number of years too for my mom who is in a dementia unit. They just keep calling though. 

I have not encountered something like that personally, but my friends also got similar calls. I don't think you should answer to calls from unknown numbers from now on. As they stop seeing a response from you, they will stop calling. Honestly, even if this some insurance companies' scheme, it's a ty idea. My friend is still getting calls with offers to get the well-priced treatment for the disease she pulled through six months ago. It triggers her because she wants to forget it.
