Maybe. Maybe not. I used to work in health insurance. HIPAA protected information is "Personally identifying information" (name, email, etc) plus a medical diagnosis, treatment, or cost of treatment.
It might be PII. It might be sensitive. But if it's not both of those, it's not HIPAA protected.
If you think about medical textbooks where there are pictures of patients and their maladies, but they are not identified this makes sense why both are required. Otherwise educating new doctors would be impossible.
