HIPPA rules are easily circumvented unless you as a patient are paying attention: I can't tell you how many forms I've opted out of that wanted to explicitly export my data to third parties and partners that are not HIPPA compliant. And at least for my healthcare providers that use MyCharts, they like to make it part of the echeckin workflow, with no option to refuse. So you're forced to go up to the desk to check in and explicitly reject it each and every time. It's a healthcare dark pattern.
And then there are online providers like better health that don't have the option to opt out at all. So you just have to avoid them entirely.
