It depends. If the physician is not working for the government, the conversation will be considered private. As long as the conversation is covered by the statute, then there will be exceptions. Consent is key. 38 states and the District of Columbia follow the federal law "One-Party Consent," which allows recording of phone calls and other electronic communications as long as one involved party has consented to it.

However, there are 12 states that require all parties to consent to be recorded (under most circumstances)--if you live in MI, CA, CT, FL, IL, MD, MA, MO, NV, NH, PA, or WA, then I would suggesting making an appointment with an attorney (for a free consultation) to discuss your rights if this matter is very important to you.
