Besides medical records, are there other instances where these rules are followed?

And, could this make LLM chats fall under HIPPA law?



No, LLM vendors are not HIPAA covered entities. If users choose to enter their own healthcare data then that's on them and there is no legal protection.

No. I could choose to post my personal medical information in the town square, that doesn't make the town square a HIPPA entity.
