I stand corrected. As a provider, I have a knee-jerk reaction to any infringement on patient privacy. Even so, the thought of providing actual names does not feel right. I would support Kim's suggestion of deleting any identifying info--this is what providers would do and this is all insurance companies have a right to receive.
