Just had to fend off another attempt by my insurance co. to set up an 'in home health assessment' [View all]
I HATE feeling pressured but I was much more polite than I was, last year.
The reasoning this person gave me was I could ask questions about my medications, or about Covid, or any other things about my health. All I could think was, isn't that what my health care provider is for? (I see an APN)
And this was for a virtual visit. Huh? Again, any of those issued could be addressed directly, via a quick phone call or an appointment, either in person or virtual.
My gut reaction is not good to these calls. Just too intrusive.
Oh well. Until next year, I guess.........................

OP
I admit I kind of resent feeling like I'm being treated as if I'm feeble, physically or mentally

They keep leaving messages, and I keep deleting and ignoring them. So far, so good!
