help
you
if
you
go
to
one
of
their
"events"
and
give
them
your
actual
contact
information
(give
a
fake
phone
number).
They
call
repeatedly
trying
to
get
you
to
sign
with
them
for
primary
care.
Their
telemarking
calls
start
out
stating
they
are
returning
your
call.
really?
I
never
called
them
to
begin
with.
I
was
stupid
enough
to
show
up
for
free
food
at
Cracker
Barrel
and
give
out
my
real
information
on
the
form
they
asked
us
to
fill
out.
This
kind
of
telemarking
is
inappropriate,
but
then
again
I'd
guess
they
are
a
for
profit
company.
They
state
they
have
grants
from
medicare
that
pay
for
the
"free"
things
they
give
people.
They
also
push
advantage
plans
(why
not
sell
Gap
and
D
plans?
-
Oh
wait
-
with
advantage
plans
the
networks
are
so
narrow
you
are
less
likely
able
to
leave
them,
and
you
have
to
pass
medical
underwriting
to
get
back
into
regular
medicare
Gap
plans
-
so
you
don't
have
unlimited
copays
and
out
of
pocket
so
you
may
be
trapped
that
way
too)
and
try
to
get
you
to
switch
from
whatever
you
currently
have
to
one
of
the
plans
they
are
pushing.
I'd
guess
this
an
income
stream
of
theirs
-
eg
commissions
or
a
bonus
for
providing
the
"lead"
(eg
you
as
the
patient)
if
you
sign
up
for
one
of
the
several
different
plans
they
push.When
you
look
at
the
company's
career
opportunities,
a
number
of
them
are
in
sales
-
since
when
does
a
legit
medical
clinic
have
so
many
employees
in
"sales""???).
Another
huge
problem
using
them
is
practical
and
could
be
medically
dangerous
depending
on
your
medical
history
and
needs.
Their
medical
record
system
is
not
one
that
any
of
the
majority
of
major
hospital
systems
use
(eg
they
don't
use
EPIC).
As
a
result
if
you
need
specialists
they
may
well
have
no
access
to
your
primary
care
records
and
your
primary
care
person
with
them
has
no
access
to
your
specialist
visits
unless
you
fill
out
a
release
of
information
after
each
outside
of
their
system
visit
.
And
of
course
in
the
other
direction
fill
out
one
for
Oak
Street
so
that
your
specialists
have
access
to
your
primary
care
records.
Often
it
can
take
weeks
for
records
to
be
sent
regardless
of
who
is
sending
them
and
even
more
time
to
get
uploaded
into
the
respective
system.
This
compromises
care
(and
can
be
dangerous
for
you)
-
especially
if
you
have
a
number
of
health
issues
that
require
different
specialists.
If
this
company
was
smart
they'd
switch
over
to
EPIC
since
EPIC
has
the
largest
market
share
with
hospital
systems,
where
so
many
of
the
specialists
work.
(the
ONLY
system
used
by
the
3
credible
medical
systems
in
our
area
-
the
4th
system
uses
Athena
but
they
are
a
failing,
close
to
bankrupt
for
profit
that
is
busy
closing
offices
left
and
right.
Where
I
live
most
doctors
are
employees
of
one
of
the
4
hospital
systems,
there
are
few
private
practices
out
there
(This
is
an
accelerating
trend
in
medical
care
and
eventually
most
doctors
will
be
employees
working
for
a
large
hospital
system
that
own
numerous
hospitals).
It
makes
no
medical
sense
to
have
your
medical
records
spread
across
multiple
electronic
medical
record
systems.
It
will
compromise
your
care,
sometimes
dangerously.
I
have
had
several
long
conversations
with
their
sales
personnel
(over
the
phone
and
in
person).
One
even
told
me
s/he
(protecting
that
person)
gets
a
list
of
"leads"
who
haven't
signed
up
after
a
certain
number
of
days
since
attending
an
event
or
after
the
last
call
they
made.
LEADS???
We,
as
potential
patients
are
LEADS?
I
realize
in
the
sales
field
potential
customers
are
called
leads,
but
health
care
is
not
the
same
as
selling
vacuum
cleaners.
I'd
be
very
cautious
about
using
them
as
your
PCP
for
all
these
reasons.
