Totally normal thing to do especially when dealing with Health care. There’s small risk as these people probably handle this sensitive info all the time and it is well documented who calls/when an appoint was made and all that

It’s totally unnecessary to give any healthcare provider your SSN. All they need is your insurance ID number. Years ago many insurance cos. used SSNs as ID numbers and providers continue to ask for it out of habit. The less people that have your SSN, the better.
