Frank, is this an area where you have direct working experience? If it is not, you might want to look into the HIPAA laws, which cover patient privacy and confidentiality. I can see potential, given your description of this business, for it to potentially violate them!

See http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/understanding/index.html (cut and paste...this system does not support live links) for a short summary of HIPAA -- from the consumer and health care provider point of view. I would think your business concept would fall under the same health care classification as pharmacies.
