Since that number is meaningless in the U.S., I guess you wouldn't care.

My New Zealand address is meaningless in the US unless you want to find my house. I see patient numbers on things displayed from time to time and wince - interesting case studies etc. I most certainly could find out who the person is. A distinct pathology is probably enough to identify someone in New Zealand if you tried hard enough.
