Say! I just found out that we are an OLYMPUS provider. Who? What? Huh? Thats what I said.
So, this company seems to just take doctors and list them as providers with their company. its targeted at international travelers. I couldn't get anyone on the phone there. They want patients to come in, and then try to strong-arm you into accepting their assignment.
I recommend that if you are approached by them, you just tell the patient that they pay out of pocket by credit card (or cash) at the time of their visit and that you will give them a detailed receipt to file a claim. I mean, I had never heard of these guys. And boy was the now-not-potential patient testy on the phone.

I have to say, as scams go, that one is pretty clever. I have to admire imagination, in whatever form it takes!
