Regarding HIPAA - In most cases, you probably signed some sort of waiver that gave the doctor permission to make these calls. It's all in the fine print.

I still get them (and am on DNC list here, which did cut down some calls) HIPAA does not allow blind reminders of DR appts unless person has signed waiver. Some Dr's still use computerized systems that do not have any way to confirm who they are talking to for all their reminders. Others use humans who identify what office is calling before they confirm who they are asking for. All these are illegal. Yet, I still get them.
