Why do doctors need my address, date of birth etc? What happens if I lie about something? Like my name or address.

Asked By:PatrickT in Nashville, TN

Do doctors need this info so they can collect their money if you stop making payments? I am definitely NOT trying to get away with not paying. I will actually be paying everything up front. Rather, I am concerned with two things. Junk Mail and Gossip. One PS I had a consultation with has since sent tons of junk mail to my house! The other PS that I plan to see is an acquaintance of one of my coworkers. Since the procedure I want is embarrassing (male breast reduction) I don't want word to spread
