Not sure what you’re looking for, but I used to get calls from Matrix at least once or twice a week. Matrix is a subcontractor of Blue Cross/Blue Shield, my Medicare supplemental carrier, and presumably, this health assessment is a benefit of my insurance. I told the representatives on numerous occasions that I wasn’t interested and to stop calling me, but the calls persisted. My home phone was on the federal and state DO NOT CALL list, but I was told that because Matrix is an agent of BC/BS with whom I have a business relationship, Matrix is not in violation of the laws governing that list and there was nothing that could be done.

Eventually, I got rid of my home phone, so they no longer call me, but periodically, Matrix sends a card or letter which ends up in the wastebasket. Since the company does not have my cell phone number, it can no longer call me.

I’ve long suspected that this “benefit” is a means for the feds to ascertain our medical condition to determine whether we can be denied care by the coming death panels. They could get our medical records from our health care providers, but this periodic examination is much easier.

I’m sure the data would end up in the IRS hands, that and I’ll have months of junk emails from people looking to scam seniors like I did when I joined AARP just to get AAA and the discount card.

Matrix is in violation of laws unknown to a lot of people. You have the right to refuse their services. Matrix can be reported to the FTC, BBB, Medicare and your insurance carrier. They will not stop their intimidation tactics. My phone can block these unwanted calls all day long if necessary.
