FALSE!!! Your SS# is not required and should never be given to anyone at any medical facility. If they say that it is required you can either leave and find a more reputable doctor or turn them in to the authorities for trying to steal your identity. IT IS NOT FLORIDA LAW AND SHOULD NEVER BE GIVEN OUT.
