When the doctor's office phones me, they must immediately learn my DOB or they can't reveal any information. Unfortunately the person calling is sometimes a nurse who's working on test results or some followup and they don't have a direct number. But it's kind of a stalemate if I won't reveal anything to them, and they won't reveal anything to me.

At this point if they manage to have the correct caller ID and I'm more or less expecting the call, it can't hurt to divulge my DOB. Scammer's going to find that out easily anyway.
