Does anyone have any tips on how they got around HIPPA to access anonymized customer data to conduct customer analysis? Our seller thinks that by just downloading the customer data to then redact any names/identifying info, it could be a HIPPA violation.


However, I'm sure there is a way buyers of medical businesses get around this - ideas?

I was clinical director for a hospital for a few years would be happy to chat - generally health data for scientific studies have to be "de-identified" prior to be used and made available for the public. So I would see your states regulation/law ping people in that circle.
