OT - Called the dentist and they asked for exH’s SS#
Forums:
So, I called the dentist yesterday and made an appointment. The receptionist asks me for exH’s SS# when I was giving her the insurance information….ugh!!! Really? :? I didn’t think they would need that as they had all of the insurance information. I haven’t had any other doctor ask me for it. I told her I would have to bring it with me to the appointment, as I didn’t have it right then. Hopefully I will be able to find it on DD’s adoption paperwork, as everything else it would be on has long ago been discarded. If not, I’ll just email him with the doctor info and ask him to call them with it.

Yes, for some reason the dental plans ask for it. I think that with medical plans usually each person has a different ID number assigned, but for dental plans it is only one ID number for the family and thus the way they charge to the right "person" in the family is by using the SSN.
I think it is a good way to handle...have him call...nobody should have to give out their SSN number.
