Are addresses considered PHI under HIPAA?

Yes, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services, addresses are considered PHI (Protected Health Information). HHS has specific rules for how to de-identify addresses. In no situation is the full address including the street address de-identified—a full address is always PHI. If you need to standardize or geocode patient addresses, you need to use a HIPAA-compliant geocoder with a signed BAA. Examples of HIPAA-compliant geocoders include Geocodio.

Can you de-identify/anonymize patient addresses so they are no longer considered PHI?

Yes, you can de-identify addresses to they are no longer PHI—but not the full address. According to HHS, here is how you de-identify patient addresses:

(B) All geographic subdivisions smaller than a state, including street address, city, county, precinct, ZIP code, and their equivalent geocodes, except for the initial three digits of the ZIP code if, according to the current publicly available data from the Bureau of the Census: (1) The geographic unit formed by combining all ZIP codes with the same three initial digits contains more than 20,000 people; and (2) The initial three digits of a ZIP code for all such geographic units containing 20,000 or fewer people is changed to 000
