Actually received a voicemail message explaining that they>were providing an education service for BC/BS.  So when they called>a***n, I answered.Yeah, right.  You are absolutely convincing me from this paragraph that you don't work for healthways and are just another random "client" who has no connection or vested interest in this organization. If there is even a hint of truth to this, there are plenty of Nigerian scammers who would love to find a person like you!>Had a nice civil conversation.  The woman knew a lot about my medical>history, i.d. info so I felt comfortable chatting.You were not alarmed or appalled about the unauthorized sharing of your medical history with a complete third-party company?  You didn't question how she got you medical history?  You didn't ask for her credentials or qualifications? You just decided that chatting about your medical issues with a complete and utter stranger was perfectly acceptable and ok huh?>Said she was with>BC/BS (didn't make clear she was with a separate>company, but, heck,>that's o.k., she apparently is working at the >behest of BC/BS).  They>provide education on health conditions >indicated by submissions to>BC/BS.  Fine, I said, always interested in>learning more.So, first the woman lies to you and says she is with bc/bs then (somehow) you find out that she isn't but then, since she works at the "behest" of an insurance company it becomes perfectly logical to establish a personal and business relationship with her. Then, to make matters even clearer, it is ok to engage in this because she received the information via a submission which may or may not have been granted for dissemination by the patient but since its for "education" on health conditions its perfectly understandable.  Uhhh, OK, fine, lets move on.>Gave me a BC/BS (?) number for a health risk appraisal over the phone>(hra's are so****ing everyone should do - didn't take BC/BS's so don't>know if it's good - have taken another good one online)(check out>thehealthierpeoplenetwurk  org for a link).  Was told a nurse would>call me with more info on my condition and I would be receiving info via>mail (at my address BC/BS has).  Fine.  Seems solid and legit service.Wow! you are impressing with all the jargon. What happens if someone doesn't want an "hra" over the phone, or doesn't want to discuss their medical condition with some stranger representing a company who's sole purpose is to determine the patients medical liabilities to the companies bottom line and who fronts a third-party to masquerade as a patient advocate only to receive further data which could****entially raise the rate the patient is currently paying or subject him/her to outright cancellation?  What about that?>The main gripe here seems to be with the calls being unwanted and the>use of an unanswered autodailer.  Final note, I am cautious here because>I don't trust BC/BS not to use any info I give over the phone as a>reason to jack up my insurance premium.This is basically a repeat of the drivel from your first paragraph.  It has nothing to do with an auto-dialer and everything to do with not being harassed by unwanted and unsolicited phone calls from a company with questionable motivations in the first place.

Just called the 808440***1 and got HMSA.  She said they just wanted to let us know about a new benefit, so I said send it in the mail.  She asked for the name a***n, and asked, "what do you have".   Then she asked for our address and I asked, "what do you have"?  Weird and su****ious-like....don't like those kind of calls, so I asked them to have our number removed.

I answered the call and the person asked if a Lorna Mae somebody was there and I said nope such person at this number.  The caller then wanted to confirm the number dialed and I said thats the number just no Lorna Mae here.  She was very polite apologized and then ***g up.

My cell showed a few calls from this number with no message left.I called it back at 11:52am on 5/27/09 and got an HMSA person. She did a member search by phone # said my cell phone # appeared under an HMSA member's name. She will remove my number from that name.

I wish HMSA would leave a voicemail.  So, at least we aren't wondering who keeps on calling!

Same as others.  I got as call - no answer, no return caller available when I got # and tried to return it.  If it happens a***n, I will contact the phone company and list it as harassment!

We received several calls this past month from this number. Caller ID said it was "your healthplan".  It seemed like an automated call, so we were su****ious. Finally called this number back and found out it is the HMSA Care Connection service.  We asked to be taken off their caller list.

Out of the three times i got calls from this #, only once did I received a voicemail message - it was a pre-recorded message from HMSA re: importance of getting a flu ****.

NO ONE SAYS ANYTHING. IDIOTS!

I picked up and the phone was ringing - like I called them but no one picked up or answered.
