Is home address pii in HIPAA?

Yes, a home address is considered Protected Health Information (PHI) under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) when it is linked to an individual's health information. HIPAA safeguards any information that can identify an individual and relates to their health status, healthcare provision, or payment for healthcare. Therefore, if a home address is associated with such information, it is classified as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and must be protected accordingly.
