Question for my fellow old farts with a Medicare advantage plan.

My advantage plan is thru UHC but Wellmed is part of it. I'm not sure exactly how, an administrator or what. But they're real.

 

Mine is with Humana. And I keep getting calls, the same voice mail every time, from "Humana" wanting to tell me about benefits I may not know about. I ignore the calls, Humana can send me something in the mail, they don't have to call. So a phone call from Humana or Wellmed doesn't mean it's from Humana or Wellmed. Something in the mail is different and can be legit.

 

We have the UHC Medicare Advantage plan but am not familiar with Wellmed.

Is this the organization? Maybe your cardiologist recently sold his practice to Wellmed?

Preventive care for older adults - WellMed Medical Group (wellmedhealthcare.com)

 

Yeah, i have UHC as well and I think it was WellMed who shipped me the kit for a colon cancer check.

 

Health insurance companies hook up with these outside orgs to put people on preventative care programs for chronic conditions.

 

Good luck on the heart cath 515151. Good health to you sir!

 

I have a friend in Florida who is about 30 years older than me. He turned 65 and Humana started calling him. He signed up with no one but he kept getting Humana, WellCsre and United Health Care mailers, mostly Humana. Eventually he got a Humana card in the mail even though he hadn't filled out a single form. He eventually signed up with Wellcare but he got a Libertu dental card in the mail a m9n5h ago. He didn't fill out any of their paperwork either

 

So now we trust doctors again? (Just adding the Too Hot to the thread).
