Independence Blue Cross has been alerted to phone calls members are receiving from a suspicious telemarketing company involving a pain relief medication. The telemarketing calls are from a company offering pain cream they say is covered by the member’s Blue Cross® Blue Shield® plan.
We have not contracted or partnered with the company making these calls, and we will not share your medical or prescription information with anyone not authorized to receive details about your care. If members receive a call they are advised to hang up and report the call to Independence’s anti-fraud department.
