Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / March 2008Abbott Labs Survey
I got a questionnaire from Abbott Labs asking me about 'my' RA. It had rather benign questions about current treatment and attitude. Abbott offered an arthritis cookbook (?) as a free gift if I were to return the filled out survey. I was curious about the cookbook (what foods reduce symptoms, I suppose) so I filled the card out and sent it off. I am curious as to how Abbott got the information that I'd been diagnosed with RA. I'm 100% sure that no medical provider I have seen gave my name to the drug company. Have any of you RA guys gotten this survey? Unless you have signed up for a subscription to any arthritis related maganzine, my best bet would be they got your name through your insurance company.

Maybe you hit it. -paul I'm PA, but haven't gotten the survey, despite having been on some of the "miracle" RA meds.

I think the point is that I'll get Abbott's lit on a new miracle drug & how to tell my doc that I need it. I'm interested in the cookbook. Ann answered a previous question thusly: > Unless you have signed up for a subscription to any arthritis > related maganzine, my best bet would be they got your name > through your insurance company. Sometimes a "friend" will complete a postcard in Arthritis Today or similar publication. It would be a violation of federal law (HIPPA) for an insurance company to reveal anything about a client without the client's permission. ...
