vhi random selection

Just got a letter from VHI offering free diabetes and cardiovascular screening based on random selection. Has anyone else got this? We had cholesterol and blood pressure tests in work a couple of years ago and my blood pressure was high - just thought it was a coincidence to be selected now.

I think it's coincidental more than anything else. even if your workplace programme was carried out by VHI Occupational health team, I don't think they'd be allowed to retain your personal information in that manner. And if it that screening was carried out by anyone else, they definitely wouldn't be allowed to inform VHI unless VHI needed it for verification of a claim (and even then I'm not sure VHI would ask).

VHI have started a programme of diabetes and cholesterol screening. They concentrated on Dublin last year and they're taking it further this year. See here - [broken link removed].

I did not contact vhi other than fill out form with my pps number. Is this a scam or genuine?

Ring VHI on 1850 44 44 44 and ask them whether they are doing market research at the moment and alert them to scam if they are?
