8886573998

Phone calls  3 or 4 times a day from 8886573998. Leaves no message .I placed on "no call list" yesterday. I got a call today and some guy says he is with what sounded like Alier (spelling is only the way it sounds).  He says his name is ken and he says he is a health first nurse. No last name given.  He says to call and talk to someone at 1-800-308-5848.

I received a call from this number today and they were trying to set up an appointment with a travel agency for free tickets or something./
I asked to have my number taken off the list and the lady just kept talking so I had to hang up to end the call.

Thats too bad because my husband and I have had the medical assesment for the last two years and it is better than any exam we ever got at our doctors

I tried to opt out and they still called me - twice. They are very invasive.

Matrix Medical Health Network is a scam.  They want to give you a FREE health assessment and in turn you give them all of your private information i.e., social history, they assess the inside of your home, health history, fill out a survey and send it to them or sign a blank one and send it back to them, tell you it is a mandated assessment by the Federal Government, etc.  Matrix tells you a NP will come to your home but instead they use nursing assistants.  Another lie.  They are a data gathering entity with a potential of sharing with anyone.

Person identified himself as being from the MICROSOFT WINDOWS SUPPORT CENTER and told me my PC had malware that needed to be addressed immediately or it would destroy my computer. I asked who he was and he kept insisting he was the technical department of Microsoft. I asked for his number. He gave me: 657-888-7283. I asked his name and he said DAVID WILSON. He barely spoke English and I had trouble understanding him when I asked for the address of his company. He said there is no address tot he company. I insisted there must be a street address for a technical company and he said something I could not understand, so I asked him to spell it. He spelled HASTER ST, ORANGE, CA. I asked for the exact number for Haster St and he said he did not know. I told him Microsoft has support centers online, and that typically people are notified of products or hardware with security breaches, etc. or we call the support center and he hung up the phone.

Matrix Medical is on contract with some # of Medicare Advantage (MA) plans to provide "home visits." These are not for our benefit although they are being marketed to us that way. The people who come to the home are being paid around 100 bucks per visit as independent contractors. If they can talk you into a urine test or blood sample, that's a 10 dollar bonus for them per test. They have a 14+ page form and they ask you for your health information. They ask you things like if you ever been tested for AIDS, ever been abused, ever smoked, drank too much, or done illegal drugs, have a DNR or other legal papers and on what date filed, your last colonoscopy, all your medical conditions and diagnoses. They review your medications with you in the guise of patient education. They look in your refrigerator or pantry. They note if you have rugs that can make you fall or other things they think are hazards. They write up a plan and have you sign it. Sounds peachy?

In the United States, you do not own the data collected about you. Period. Where is all of this data going? It goes to your medical insurance company. It may go to your doctor. It goes to Matrix Medical. Where does it go from Matrix Medical? Ask them. See what kind of answer you get.

Now, your insurance company that you signed up for to conduct your Medicare Advantage plan gets a certain amount of money for you every month depending on diagnostic codes. The insurance company has a vested interest in your doctor picking the "worst" more serious codes that deem you a higher risk so the insurance company can get more money for you every month.

This is part of why Matrix Medical and the other few companies conducting these lovely home visits exist. If Matrix Medical is paying independent contractors a hundred bucks a visit, plus paying staff to call you and pester you to say yes to these visits, how much do you think your Medicare Advantage insurance company is paying Matrix Medical to provide you with this "benefit?" (cough, cough)  We don't know. The details of the contracts between Matrix Medical and the Medicare Gap insurance companies are never made public.

The problem is that these home visits are costly to Medicare monies. These home visits are draining Medicare funds and will be part of what makes our Medicare funds run out faster than they already are. When these people call you over and over again to pester you about this wonderful "opportunity" and "benefit" that you have, say NO. Then, go make an appointment with your DOCTOR.

If you are lucky, your doctor is the one who really cares.

I am sick of these people offering me a non-solution to my many problems. Thank you.

Who pays for this service?

You.
