Christopher Pittman, president of the Hillsborough County Medical Association, said medical offices have a variety of reasons for requiring Social Security numbers.
“Hospitals, as I understand it, are collecting Social Security numbers for patient safety reasons,” he said. The numbers are “a redundant way to uniquely and safely identify the patients.”
Medical facilities also often say they need the numbers in case a patient dies; the number is required for the death certificate. But some security experts say this need can be addressed by providing contact information for a family member who has access to the patient’s Social Security number.
The numbers are also used for collecting payment. “Is medicine a business? Well, certainly,” Pittman said. “Are there other ways to find people who don’t pay their bills? Based on my research, there are.”
“Patients can say, ‘I’m not going to give my Social,’” Pittman said. “An entity can say, ‘Well fine. You need to pay cash … and you can file your own insurance.’”
Pittman suggested a possible compromise: “If a patient is ever uncomfortable giving a SSN to front office staff or to any medical staff member, a simple solution is to provide the SSN directly to the physician,” he said. “Patients trust physicians with the sensitive and personal details of their lives.”
Pittman said this would allow the doctor to enter the number directly into an electronic medical records system, “which is much more secure than any paper record.”
Dr. Christopher Pittman, a Tampa phlebologist, was elected president of the Hillsborough County Medical Association.
Pittman succeeds Dr. William Davison as president of the association, which has more than 1,300 members involved in health care.
Pittman received his medical degree from the University of South Florida in 1988 and began to practice interventional radiology at Tampa General Hospital in 1994, according to a written statement.
He specializes in the diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of vein diseases.

Vein911® is a brand built upon urgency. The Vein911® name and positioning of “For life’s little and not-so-little emergencies” was conceived because the slow and gradual nature of venous reflux disease is the main reason patients often ignore life-style limiting symptoms of venous disease that can be easily treated. Vein911® is not just a name, but a call to urgency with a mission of patient education — to teach patients the difference between cosmetically disturbing veins versus medically necessary vein treatment that is often covered by insurance.
