Is it illegal for a hospital to hide the doctor name from patient?
<p>I had an ultrasound at a hospital. The doctor over there gave me some recommendations. I wasn’t sure about these recommendations and wrote an email to the management asking other doctors to review those recommendations. They did review and provided an answer. I asked for those doctor’s names. Hospital refused to disclose. Is hospital violating any laws?</p>

<p>In this statement of <a href="https://www.nashunchealthcare.org/patients-visitors/patient-rights-and-responsibilities/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">&quot;Patient Rights &amp; Responsibilities</a> from Nash UNC it is said that:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>A patient has the right to know the names and the jobs of his or her caregivers.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>But I do not find any actual law that establishes such a right. Hospitals usually have a policy that doctors and other caregivers must wear name-tags and identify themselves to patients, but that does not necessarily apply to questions after the fact, nor can I be sure that any law mandates such a policy.</p>
