I just checked out the Pill Pack website. You agree to their terms of service:
Check this button to agree to the PillPack Terms of Use, Child Safety Waiver, Billing Disclosure, HIPAA privacy policy, PillPack Privacy Policy.
They aren't violating HiPPA - their HiPPA form explains in detail who they can release your information to, and why. They also list in their privacy policy that they can and will use your information to make their product better and can release your information to third parties.
So just from reviewing their website when you sign up, the are following HiPPA to the letter. They are posting correct privacy policies. It's up to you to if you want to allow PillPack to disclose all of your information by signing up.
I actually think this is a very cool service - for people who take a large amount of pills and need to take it on a tight schedule or some type of daily regimen.
I don't think this would be a good service for me personally, I'm diabetic, and I only take 2 pills a day at the same time, along with insulin for my pump.
Several co-workers have iPhones and reported delays (up to 30 minutes) in receiving text and MMS messages yesterday.
I think this is just the effect of "ooh - I need to text friends with pictures". Let's see what happens over the next week or so. This will tell the whole story if AT&T's network is crappy (Which I believe it is).
