Caller asked if this was "Jane Doe", I said "yes". She said "how are you doing" and hung up. This is the first time anybody has spoken after many, many calls.

Prerecorded message from Medco (prescription drug insurance) about one of my prescriptions

I have received 2 phone calls from this Toll Free Call, I haven't ansered them either time. I don't answer calls that come up as Toll Free. My phone number is unlisted and is on the DO NOT CALL REGISTRY LIST!!!

So, how are they getting my number????

This is the 3rd time I have received a call from this Toll Free Call!! I have not answered any of them. I don't answer any calls that come up Toll Free Call. I still don't know how they got my number where it is unlisted and is on the DO NOT CALL REGISTRY!!

This Toll Free Number has now called my number for the 4th time today!!! I have not answered any of them as I don't answer calls that come up Toll Free!!  My number is still unlisted and is still on the DO NOT CALL REGISTRY LIST!!!!!

It is Medco. I called the number back after reading another post saying it was them.

This particular number is Medco. They were given your number because a prescription is being processed and requires your attention. This is an automated system. Most of the time a prior authorization is needed before your Rx was be completed.

The 800-753-2851 is from Medco the mail order pharmacy

I receive these calls after I fill prescriptions at my local pharmacy.  I ignore them - they're trying to force me to sign up with their mail-order pharmacy instead of buying generics at my local pharmacy.  They claim it's cheaper but interestingly enough, it's been more expensive every time I've looked into it.  Plus, they send drugs through the mail without taking any precautions.

No thanks!

Medco Pharmacy - legitimate caller, calling to inform me about a prescription being processed.  They likely call you because your medical also provides pharmacy through Medco.

They will also use this number to inform you that your Dr hasn't approved the prescription and you need to follow up with your Dr.

It's Medco pharmacy.

This is Medco prescription insurance, which is who my health insurance uses for prescription coverage.  It's not a spam/junk call.  They were calling to let me know that a prior authorization for one of my prescriptions is about to expire, and that I'd be receiving a letter in the mail soon with information on how to renew the prior authorization if I need/want to continue taking the medication.

Sounds like you need to read your insurance information a little better.  I always get prescriptions via Medco.  It is cheaper....and I DO get generics.  AND they do send drugs through the mail WITH precautions.  Some medication I have to sign via UPS..educate yourself before you write on a public webpage.  *dumb*a$$*.  Thank you.  Good day.

It's MedCo, calling about your prescriptions.

Received a call from this number today.  It was indeed a legitimate call from Medco with detailed, pre-recorded information about a prescription I had just filled.

You are correct.  it is a legitimate call, not a bill collector.  They are confirming your MAIL ORDER PRESCRIPTION.

This makes perfect sense.  I had to get a prescription filled yesterday and had to get a pre-authorization for it, however that was completed and I still received a call today and they didn't leave a voicemail.  That concerns me.  Why does the prescription drug coverage company behave like a telemarketer, there's no reason for them to.

You're going to miss some important calls if you ignore ALL toll-free numbers.  Not all of them are SPAM.

Exactly the same for me.  It is NOT SPAM.  Glad to see that most people have documented it properly here.  Others are just clueless.
