What's that number again?

I spoke to our HR department today to make sure all my ducks were in a row for the upcoming surgery. I wanted to find out what I needed to do to make them happy (because a happy HR department = your butt not on the hot seat later).
They told me that I need to call our short term disability company (the ones who will actually make sure I get paid while I'm out). Since a hospital stay is required, the insurance kicks in immediately.
They gave me a pamplhet that gave me the number to call and a list of all the questions they would ask (so I would have my answers ready before I called them).
I took one look at the number and died:
1-866-STD-CALL
"Um... yeah, my name is... um... Bob, and I have a... um... friend who just got back from Tailand... um... I... er, he was told to call"
