Generally speaking, discrimination is unlawful only when it is based upon membership in a protected class such as race, color, religion, national origin/ancestry, age (40 and above), marital status, gender, disability, disabled veterans, veterans of the Vietnam era, certain medical conditions, sexual orientation or other unalterable condition. Discrimination is also unlawful in cases involving retaliation stemming from exercizing legal rights (i.e., reporting unsafe conditions to OSHA, reporting discrimination to the EEOC, etc.). You probably do not have a discrimination claim based upon your unwillingness to proffer your Social Security Number, particularly because those who do not wish to proffer their SSNs to medical professionals are not members of a protected class.
