This is a legitimate call, not a scam. The representative from Evicore correctly identified my insurance provider and discussed an upcoming test, for which I had questions. I verified the information by contacting my insurance provider, and an Evicore representative was conferenced in to address my concerns.

Expert Opinion
Imagine getting a call that says your medical procedure was approved, but the voice never names a real company. That scenario shows how scammers blend legit‑sounding language with vague references to insurance or hospitals. The safest move is to verify any claim by calling the number on your insurance card or provider’s official website—never the callback number in the voicemail. Keep your personal info (SSN, DOB, policy number) offline until you confirm the caller’s identity. Use your phone’s block feature and report the number to the FTC or your carrier. A quick check can stop a potential fraud before it harms you.

Apparently, Envicore is behind this number, notifying users about an authorization, and if unanswered, they will follow up with a letter, as indicated by my experience with United Health Care.
A robotic voice claimed to be from my health insurance company, using the actual company name, and requested verification of a doctor's request. They asked me to confirm my name and then press a number, followed by a request for my birthdate. I ended the call. If this was genuinely my health insurance company, their approach was highly inappropriate.
