Often this is how they verify you are insured.

For medical insurance it’s usually only needed if they you don’t have your member ID number or just recently enrolled. More common for vision or dental insurance to use SSN though.

They have no problem verifying my insurance without a SS #.

Depends on the insurer, probably. That's how my dental is verified since my dental insurance doesn't bother sending out a card...
