Marcus Hutchins at Malwaretech posted about a new "feature" of Chrome that reports to 3rd parties what websites you visit.

This means YOUR CLIENTS can have the URLs of your TELEHEALTH system reported to 3rd parties.

So -- for example, if you use Psychology Today for telehealth, they will know the client is seeing a mental health professional. If you use Zoom, they will LIKELY just know the client went on a Zoom call -- but then you have a unique Zoom URL link, so its possible someone will bother to catalogue that your particular Zoom link is medical. So, again, same problem.

This is not a HIPAA problem under your control, but perhaps some client education on browser privacy settings is in order?

For people who for some reason still want to use Chrome:
Settings > Privacy >Ad privacy, then just toggle everything off.
