I would resent it being a requirement for sure. When I first told my pdoc I started seeing my t, (well he knew I was going to see one but I ended up with a t not on the list he gave me) he asked for her name and number and I gave it to him. I told t that I gave him her card and asked if he'd called her, and she said no, but even if he had, she wouldn't be able to discuss anything about me without my written consent. I said it didn't bother me and I'd sign if she thought it would be helpful. But she said as far as she was concerned, he was managing my meds fine and she didn't see any reason to talk to him unless I wanted her to specifically.
