Still seems fishy. Does the pharmacy section not require HIPAA and siloing off from the regular consumer data?

HIPAA doesn’t require that. Or not in the sense you are suggesting.

This seems like a pretty easy analysis while stating in the confine of HIPAA.

Your basically looking at two data points:

* is [drug] buyer

* total grocer spend

There is no PHI in that analysis and no way for there to be PHI.
