If you get a call from 855‑746‑8709 claiming it’s an Aetna home‑health check, pause before you hand over any info. The number is used by third‑party contractors that schedule voluntary wellness visits, but the script can feel like a classic telemarketing pitch and some scammers copy it. Ask for the company’s name, a written confirmation, and verify the call with Aetna’s official customer service line. Never let a stranger into your home unless you’ve arranged it through a known provider. Block the number if the call feels pushy or you’ve already declined the service.
I am getting so fed up with these lazy peoples calling me and harassing me about insurance, i think they just want to get informations, i am not going to give them nothing
The primary goal of these individuals appears to be exploiting Medicare by exaggerating or fabricating medical issues, and it is essential to exercise caution, especially when dealing with unlicensed medical professionals, as Aetna does not disclose such information
A call from Aetna was anticipated after researching the number and reading previous comments
Repeated calls, often multiple times in a row, are made by this insurance-related number, which is extremely harassing.
I have been contacted by this number, as well as 919-275-3339, regarding a home visit associated with Aetna, but I have instructed Aetna to cease all promotional calls and only communicate with me via mail.
Signify Health, possibly represented by Rose, left a message to schedule a physician's home visit, which was declined after returning the call, as the service was deemed unnecessary and the call was found to be legitimate.
Repeated calls were made by a third-party company offering a home wellness checkup, which I deemed harassment
Contrary to what many might think, this is a legitimate benefit offered through Medicare and insurer Aetna, though the communication could be clearer
During the call, I was asked numerous questions, including one about a physician visiting my home to check my vital signs. The caller wanted to schedule a specific day and time, but I informed them that I would be busy.
The company name is Signified Health, they provide services like inhome health assessment, but they are not affiliated with Aetna
It appears this is not a scam, but rather a method used by insurance companies to assess health risks, potentially leading to policy cancellations or rate increases. They claim affiliation with Aetna, although they are not paid by the company. Humana has also been known to engage in this practice. Participation is voluntary, but this aspect is often downplayed, making it seem mandatory. I do not allow unknown individuals into my home, especially those who may be reporting back to insurance companies. It is advisable to decline and hang up when they call, as trust has not been established.
It not a scam, but insurance company try to check if you are a health risk, they may increse your rate or drop you, they claim to be aetna but thats not true, they are payed by other peoples
Warning others about a suspicious outfit hired by insurance companies like Aetna to assess health risks in homes, which could lead to dropped coverage or increased rates, emphasizing the importance of being cautious with unsolicited home visits from such entities.
This call appears to be from a telemarketing company.
Unwanted calls and letters have been received, with no interest or need for the services being offered
I recieved a call last week, although the letter stated I could call them if I wanted to, not the other way arond.
I dont want recieve any more calls from this number
The caller claimed to represent Aetna and requested to schedule a home visit with a doctor, which I declined, recognizing it as a scam.
A message was received to schedule a health assessment on behalf of Aetna, but upon calling back, it became clear that the intention was to sell an unnecessary health assessment.
Having been with Aetna for several years, I've noticed they conduct annual home checks, although I've never actually received one; recently, I also received a call from them, but no message was left.
Even if its legitimate, beware of Aetna's motives, they know you have a doctor and they send a nurse or doctor to your home, maybe to convince you to go to a nursing home, i dont want strangers in my house, especialy with all the bad news we hear, its suspicious that the caller doesnt have Aetna as their id, instead its unknown, which i have blocked, so i think its a scam, probaly they know we recieved letters about home visits, its best to keep your privacy.
After receiving a call, I then got a letter from Aetna regarding my Medicare Advantage plan, raising questions about the motives behind such communications, as highlighted in a 2015 Public Radio report, which discusses how Medicare Advantage plans can benefit financially from classifying patients as less healthy than they are.
Following a missed call from this number, presumably a reminder, I received a scheduled Home Health Assessment visit from an MD representing Aetna, which was a routine and brief meeting to establish a health baseline.
It's worth noting that the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, does not undermine HIPPA; rather, it reinforces the privacy protections for healthcare providers.
Following a similar call, I inquired about the purpose and declined the offered service, only to learn that others with the same insurance had been approached and were sent a doctor from Chile, raising questions about the legitimacy of these interactions and potential connections to healthcare policies.
My elderly father was targeted by a potential health scam, with persistent calls despite cancellation
According to my online findings, these home visits seem to be a tactic employed by insurance companies, including Aetna, to uncover information that policyholders may be withholding, which could lead to increased payment rates. It's worth noting that some medical professionals do make house calls, particularly in areas like New Jersey.
Upon receiving the call, I found a message on my answer machine, requesting that I call back promptly, with no mention of the company or individual's name, only an extension, which left me skeptical, especially given my Aetna insurance and concerns about potential scams.
The representative claimed a physician would visit my home, which seemed implausible as doctors typically do not make house calls; this prompted me to investigate the phone number, leading me to conclude it was a scam
Further investigation was undertaken after a representative claimed a physician would visit my home, as this seemed unusual, and a subsequent search revealed the phone number to be associated with Censeo, a company working on behalf of Aetna in California, and indeed, they do send medical professionals for assessments.
