Went to a new clinic today. They asked for my residential address and said they don’t use email, just phone number for contact. I’m uncomfortable giving out my real details.

A couple of questions:

  • Can they refuse to treat me if I don’t provide an address?
  • Can they refuse to treat me if I don’t provide a phone number?
  • Can they refuse to treat me if I insist to provide an email instead of a phone number?

Keen to hear what others in Aus do. Thanks.

    Is this in Aus? Because you can get a free address at local AusPost to have mail directed to it and they hold it for a few weeks.

      No, US. They charge a osmium for a small box, and over $150/mo for a bigger box. For me, the PO is on the other side of town, so I’m not in the mood to ever drive that way 😅
