So I got a text from some outfit that wants to do a genetic test for neurological problems. I said it sounded OK to me. We got in touch by phone, and the guy had the same script as the scammers who call. He called me "Mr Patrick" a lot and - trying to be delicate here - his voice and accent made it clear he isn't from around here, though he said his name is, "Adam." I kept waiting for him to ask for an SS or Medicare number or something. But he said, "This is billed through your insurance 100%, no charge to you," several times.

So we go through some questions and he finally says, "I need you to say your name very clearly so we can bill this to Medicare."

At that point I told him I was done and ended the call.

So:
1. Guy calls up and offers some medical screening that no doctor has ever recommended.
2. His script and tone of his voice sounds like a scammer trying to get my bank account or SS number.
3. He wants my permission to bill this "test" to medicare and can't tell me the amount.

Sounds to me like a Medicare fraud scam
Does it fishy to you, or am I too cynical?
