I ignore them and they leave a voicemail for me to call back to talk about my health. These calls are actually from UHC. I answered one yesterday and a robot wanted me to take a five minute survey about my health. I repeated no until it understood.

My position is that I don't discuss my health with an insurer. My health concerns and care are addressed by a team of physicians I know and trust. As a supplement to Medicare they don't have any input to my care, so why do they need additional info about me?
