My insurance co. wants to do 2 home visits a year. [View all]

I've been really concerned about the encroaching of big brother. The whole idea just kind of haunts me.

I have Medicare and Humana is my insurance company. I'm perfectly healthy. I take 1 blood pressure pill a day. And I go see my doctor every 6 months to get my refill. He does blood work just about every 6 months. I was just there a week ago.

So I was completely bumfuddled when Humana started calling me over and over every day. It was a weird 785 number so I didn't answer. When I realized it was Humana calling I answered. They wanted to set me up an appointment so they could come to my house and check my vitals and my meds.

A friend of mine gets some expensive diabetes meds. They call her every month to be sure she picked up her prescription.

No doing this. Don't want the insurance company involved in my life any more than it is now. They pay the bills. They don't come to my house to make sure I'm doing right. Way too invasive for an insurance company.
