Anthem prescription call: legit or scam?

Expert Opinion
Never share your personal information with an unsolicited caller claiming to be from Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. Verify the call by hanging up and dialing the official number on your insurance card. Call logs and caller ID can be spoofed, so treat any request for medication details with suspicion. If the caller asks for a PIN, social security number, or payment, consider it a red flag. Keep a record of the time, number, and content, then report the incident to your insurer’s fraud department and to the FTC. Protecting your health data reduces the risk of identity theft.
