Can a patient ask a doctor out on a date?
Yes but if the patient is a patient of that doctor, the doctor would HAVE to refuse. Doctors, like everyone else, have a rite to a private life and can go out on dates. However, the rules (for the doctor) are that the the relationship between a doctor and that doctor's patient must be professional, because doctors are in a position to take advantage of their patients (who may be feeling vulnerable).

What are private dental plans Are they cheaper than the one we get from insurance companies?
Private dental plans (or private health plans in a broader scope) have recently made their way into the healthcare industry. These are plans where a doctor gets the authority of making his own private dental plans. On the other hand, the patient enjoys the freedom to choose from various dental plans offered by the patient Also, a patient gets the benefit of paying the treatment cost in installments (includes treatment cost and late fee). In short, the dentist becomes your insurer here; eradicating the middle man. As far as I know, in the US, there's this company name Denefits which is offering doctors to make their private dental plans and collects the payment (involving treatment costs) on behalf of the dentist. They bear the risk wherever there is a likelihood of default payment.
Whose authority is needed for a health care provider to disclose health care information?
Generally, the patient himself has to sign an agreement allowing the health care provider to share health care information about himself with another person. Thus, for example, if the patient was going to a specialist, the patient would sign allowing his primary care doctor to give the specialist information. If the patient is under age 18, then the patient's parent or guardian would sign. Some adults may have a guardian -- adults who are mentally incompetent typically have a legal guardian. Insurers get information from providers about patient care and services billed. When the patient is at the office, he (or his guardian) signs allowing the provider to share information with the insurer. When you "sign out" at the doctor's office, you are signing a form that allows them to bill the insurer and give whatever related information is needed.
