To a 34 year old person who is not disabled and not enrolled in Medicare, yet . . .
Sounds like AEP meets Groundhog Day
He has told the call center representatives that he was on the national DNC list. That is 34 years old and not eligible for Medicare. It makes not difference. The calls keep coming.....because he answered his phone.
He decided to ask to be passed through to a supervisor. Instead, he was "live" transferred to an agent. Once the agents discovered he was 34 years old and not a lead for Medicare he was cussed at, hung up on, etc.
Once he was able to speak to a call center supervisor who told him that since he answered the calls he was considered a "premium lead" and that he would likely get even more calls because he answered the phone. The call centers goal was to get his call transferred. This was ultimately how the call center got paid.
He was told that since he agreed to be transferred the call was not a violation of the DNC rules. To bad so sad, you will continued to be called.
