Is what they're doing illegal or is that behavior not prohibited by HIPPA?

It is legal. HIPPA protects you from chatty employees and gross incompetence.

"Protects" you. It just gives some penalties to the companies for gross negligence, kind of like the GDPR is trying to do for all of personal data in the EU.
