Are hospitals using Zoom for online appointments violating HIPAA?


I've noticed a lot of medical providers are using Zoom to conduct doctors appointments online, and was wondering if this violates, or could potentially violate, HIPAA.

From a quick Google, Zoom does offer the compliance bits required (if their actual behavior breaks that, I think that shields the medical providers legally)
