Defamation (and HIPAA violations) would require publication (disclosure where third parties could see it).

So, where in this story did this happen? It was printed on her bill, so the pharmacy saw it and she saw it. I didn't an explanation of where anyone else saw it.

Apparently, she showed it to a third party...the newspaper.

The story says that her friend picked up the medication, and read the comments, and called Walgreens. That's enough for publication.
