[quote=Anonymous]As part of CareFirst's rewards program, there's a financial incentive for participating in a series of coaching calls. I don't usually waste my time with this, and this year's experience reminded me why. I'm not sure who the target audience for these things might be, but it's not my chronically-ill, disabled self.

I'm grateful that the poor nurse assigned to my call today appreciated my sense of humor about it, but what an utter waste of time and resources. Who gets any benefit from these calls?

The whole call just felt like a condescending waste of time all around.

If you have ever done this and gotten some benefit from it, please let me know. I really just don't see the point.[/quote]
