-- It prevents release of personal health information. --

Such as whether or not somebody is vaccinated as a prevention?

Purchase of OTC medication?

Purchase of Vitamin and Mineral supplements?

What kind of fruit they put in their smoothie?

And if you have ever signed up for one of those pharmacy discount cards - you just waived all of your rights to privacy about what medications you are taking and for what conditions.

Read the "fine print" on those signup agreements.

There are a number of other conditions where HIPPA restrictions have limited or no effect. Avoiding naming of the patients is one of them. Reliance on HIPPA for protection from disclosure of adverse information is a dicey proposition.

Remember: "Anything you say can be used against you" (and not just in a court of law).
