Default Re: New Doctors and providing your Social Security Number
Doc offices request this information for their own billing purposes. They are extending credit to you until the insurance company pays. This sometimes takes months. If the insurance company does not pay and you bolt or don't pay they need personal information to track you down or report you to the credit agencies.
