I have a supplemental (to Medicare) insurance policy for prescriptions with Humana. This morning I received a call from a rep letting me know I could “save some money without making any changes to my policy.” All I had to do was say “yes.” I was driving at the time but she gave me a number I could call. I was a few minutes into this second call when it became clear I would be getting my prescriptions from the Humana online pharmacy. I said no thanks. It was a sneaky, back-door move all the way. All they had to say — up front — was I could save X dollars a month by buy my drugs from them. But that would have been way too honest.
If someone calls you on the phone and tells you they can save you some money… they’re trying to fuck you.
