Don’t Be Scammed By Imposters
Unsolicited Insurance Company Phone Calls

In light of recent events surrounding suspicious phone calls made to plan participants supposedly on behalf of some nationwide insurance companies, Starmark wants to let you and your employees that the only time we will contact participants is to promote cost-saving programs, such as case or condition management. At that time, we will ask only for the plan participant’s medical ID number and birth date – the same information that would be requested to verify their identity when calling Starmark. We would not ask them to verify any banking or account information that is not pertinent to the program offered.

The suspicious calls experienced by others in the insurance industry were from articulate, confident-sounding individuals telling the plan participant they needed the information to update their file. If at any time you receive a call that you believe is suspicious, hang up the phone and call the number on the back of your Starmark medical ID card before answering any questions.
