HIPAA is a baseline rule set. Providers are free to set more restrictive rules than what HIPAA defines. They often do so they have buffer room better their rules and HIPAA violations.
Further, HIPAA is not the only rule governing you and your providers interactions. A private institution is free to set its own rules (with its legal obligations) and can have you leave if you don’t follow them.
