Heads Up About Prescriptions
November 23, 2011
I took a robo call on my cell phone this morning that others should be aware of. The call states my health insurance company has dropped Walgreens as of the first of the year. That after the first if I haven’t switched it indicates I won’t be able to get my drugs that I have at Walgreens. The area code is 978 which when I check online is either a cell phone or unpublished number from Massachusetts.
The first question I had was how did they get my cell phone number and how do you know I have prescriptions at Walgreens. On the prescriptions I don’t have any at Walgreens.
While I do get 1 prescription from a company in Florida, a Massachusetts connection is unknown.
The call tells you to push a button to be transferred to someone that will transfer your prescriptions. The person that answered said it was Express Scripts and rattled off several names of companies they have some connection with. One of them is Cura Script from Florida.
Conclusions: It appears my personal information has been shared. Whether Walgreens has lost the contract I don’t know. Since my insurance has made me buy the prescription from Cura Script I do plan to report this to them.
