That can potentially be a HIPAA violation unless medical providers/platforms get a Business Associates Agreement with the ISP. This could be a nightmare.

The HIPAA violation would be on the care provider by transmitting in cleartext over the internet.

If they're transmitting properly over TLS then no patient info would be divulged.
