Exactly. When I wanted a handicapped parking permit for my son, his doctor wrote the order for it. I was then issued a permit and was required to display it in the window of my car when I parked in a handicap zone.
If a person needs a service animal, their doctor should write the order for it, they should be issued a permit (dog tag) and the dog would be required to display it when in service.
I don't see any difference between the two, nor any issue of non-compliance with HIPAA. Only the person and their doctor know the reason for the license.
I'm generally against more regulations, but more often than not, a few idiots make it necessary for more laws.
