Strange letter I got from my Health Insurance company

[MichellesBFF]

I was wondering if any of you had to deal with something like this. I got a letter from my health insurance yesterday about a 'voluntary' program for people with chronic health issues called Synergy. You get a 'care coach' who calls you about your 'health issues'. Funny thing is, I don't have any of the chronic conditions that would warrant this kind of intervention! So needless to say, this letter freaked me out. Aside from allergies and a small heart birth defect, (valve issue which is okay), and osteoarthritis in my knees, I don't know why they targeted me for this mailing. And I'm a runner, so it's not like I need someone to goad me into exercising. I talked to a nice lady with the organization this morning who put me on the not interested list, (I hope that wasn't a big mistake!) but this really has me worried. I hope this doesn't compromise my coverage in the future. (We won't treat you because you turned down our health coach...)

Universal coverage now!

1. my insurance co. has a similar program

which I have ignored with no penalty, and I do have one of the chronic conditions they target.

2. They can't hide with the interwebs

I found this about their 'program'. Shudder.

I did it in jest - but there is probably some basis for it.

4. It's a TRAP!!! They're trying to catch people not revealing symptoms those turds.

Sounds like a trap where they're trying to determine if you got some symptoms they don't know about so they can either raise your premiums or drop you altogether. What a bunch of scum.
