I think the problem is that HIPAA is less strict than the zeitgeist believes. Makes perfect sense since your family doctor will have you sign an acknowledgement yearly. The reality is that health data is for sale from all kinds of vendors including pharmacies. As long as it’s “not identifiable” it’s fair game. My work health plan uses a separate “pharmacy benefit manager” to end run around the restrictions on what it can do with that data.
