HIPPA only applies to healthcare providers. It in no way applies to your employer asking about your medical history. It is there to restrict your doctor from sharing your information.
I wish that it did cover employers. But I would not cite it in OPs case.
Could be lying. Don’t give medical info if you don’t have to.
Cite HIPPA

HIPPA involves any company that handles personal health information
Correct - like a hospital, doctor's office, or clinic.
If you work at a steel mill, consulting firm or a video store, it doesn't.
Again, I wish it wasn't this way but I don't want people trying to invoke HIPPA for their HR department. It doesn't apply
HIPAA only counts when the govt wants it to.
