My company HR is saying that since the company isn't a medical provider, HIPPA doesn't apply so they can demand to know my vaccine status. I don't think that's correct is it?

They are playing word games. You should ONLY give your medical records to a Medical Provider that has HIPPA protections. They are partially right, if you VOLUNTARILY give your records to them, they don't have to follow the HIPPA rules because they are not a medical provider. But since they don't offer those protections, then you don't have to do it.
That is not true. If you voluntarily give your medical information to HR, they are ABSOLUTELY bound to protect it under HIPAA.
