Don't just assume it's a scam and automatically block the call. If you HAVE Florida Blue insurance, then hang up and call the phone number on the back of your insurance card. Let them know you got a call from someone saying they're with Florida Blue, and that there was some kind of message they wanted to give you. Then answer the questions of that person YOU call...
and see what they say.
Florida Blue uses employees who work from home and have "disposable" cell phones for the purpose. So the call will usually be from a Florida phone number that your caller ID won't recognize. Even if it's legit.
It's important to be suspicious. But it's also important to either verify or prove your suspicions wrong when it comes to your health insurance. Just in case they really -do- have an important message for you.
