Postcard from insurance company

[frogautumn]

I just received a postcard this morning from our insurance company stating:

"Our records indicate that your child may not be up-to-date with his/her vaccinations. Please call your health-care provider for an appointment."

I'm highly annoyed by this! Has anyone else received anything like this?
I think I might need to place a complaint.

Yup, used to get those. They stopped right around a year or so, I think... its been a while. I just recycled them

I called my insurance company after receiving a card telling me I was due for a pap and mammogram.

I insisted I speak with a manager - I went OFF! I told them to stop spending my premiums printing glossy ads recommending medical treatments. It's not their job to attempt to prescribe medical care - just pay for it. Until they have a medical license and are my treating physician they need to **** off!

PS - haven't heard from them since

With our last insurance company we got these type of cards all the time. I just threw them in the recycling and didn't worry at all about it.

I just threw it out. I get all kinds of things in the mail. I need something to pick up my cat barf with anyway

Wow. You are awesome, I am totally crackin up....

I've gotten these too for paps, vax, and the like, I always get really annoyed about it. I got one telling me they 'had no record' of my ds having his 6mo WBV, one day BEFORE he turned 6mo, ON the day we had the WBV

I've never heard of an insurace company doing that?? A doctor's office reminding me it's that time of year for xyz, but an insurance company?

Just got a postcard like this in the mail today and hopped on this board to see how others had handled it. (love the cat barf comment! lol) I'm so ticked!!!

Especially when I see that Pfizer sponsored the postcard! I'll be calling my insurance company today and giving them an earful.
