I had a doctor's office a few years ago try to insist I put my SSN on a form. They said it was for insurance purposes. I told them that was BS. My health insurance company had stopped associating SSN with member number years before. After a heated exchange with the receptionist, she went to talk to the office manager, who finally came out and said they didn't need it after all.
when a doctor's office asks for SSN, I bring out my foreign accent and tell them I don't have a SSN.
