What real providers say...

"Thank you for this wonderful product. As a therapist who owns my own business, I do try to make sure that I am following the laws to protect my clients information. That said, there are so many rules / laws when it comes to HIPAA that even the best intentioned therapy office may find they have unintentionally violated the law. I received my digital copy of the customizable HIPAA Compliance Manual and the first thing I noticed is that it came with a quick start guide which was extremely helpful. It walked me through the process of setting up my actual business HIPAA compliance manual with so many helpful tips..."

"... I also like that the digital manual highlighted the areas where I would need to add my business logo. This ensures I don't miss a spot and it makes it more professional looking. Finally, the hyperlinks are a wonderful feature saving me time when I need to do a quick search on a topic. I don't have to scroll through endless pages to get to the topic I need, I can simply click on the link and there it is. Overall, I would say this is a very helpful and user friendly product and I would definitely recommend it to other therapists. There are so many HIPAA laws that even when we think we are using best practices as a therapist running our business, we may actually be in violation of a rule / law unintentionally which is why I think every practice should have one of these easy to use compliance manuals."

"As a licensed therapist in California, I’ve been trained extensively in state-level regulations — but no one ever sat me down and explained the federal HIPAA standards in the depth and clarity that Samantha’s manual provides. To be honest, I didn’t even know how much I didn’t know. And I’m not alone — most clinicians I’ve spoken to aren’t aware that there are federal expectations beyond our state boards, or that failing to meet them could actually carry serious consequences for our practices and licenses."

"This manual is a game-changer. It’s not just a surface-level overview; it’s a comprehensive, practical, and clearly organized guide that includes everything from handling PHI to documenting client communications, storing confidential information, logging disclosures, and understanding federal reporting obligations. It even covers things like the need for a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) when using cloud-based systems like Microsoft OneDrive — something I would’ve completely overlooked without this resource."

What Makes This Different -FAQ

Isn’t HIPAA law public domain? Why do I need to pay for this?

Yes, HIPAA regulations are public law. What is not public is the way this Manual is written, explained, formatted, and organized into editable policies, procedures, logs, and templates. That structure is original work protected by copyright. Most providers don’t need the raw legal text — they need ready-to-use compliance tools. That’s what this Manual provides.

Professional associations and liability carriers often share guidance and sample forms, but they do not provide a complete, editable HIPAA compliance system. They rarely address state-specific laws, they do not include all 10 required HIPAA logs, and they cannot be customized to your practice workflows. This Manual and its State Supplements go far deeper as they are built to be implemented and maintained in real practice settings.

No. HIPAA does not require you to hire a lawyer to create your policies or logs. This Manual is designed so you can implement compliance yourself. That said, if you want additional reassurance, you may choose to have a healthcare attorney review your customized version. Many providers find that unnecessary because the Manual already covers the required areas.

No. HIPAA does not require that your policies and procedures be drafted or approved by an attorney. This Manual is already structured to meet federal requirements and includes the written policies, logs, and procedures needed to be audit-ready.

Some practices may choose to have a healthcare attorney review their customized Manual for extra reassurance, especially if they operate in multiple states, have unusual practice structures, or are under audit or board investigation. That kind of legal review is optional risk management, not a compliance requirement.

For most solo and group practices, this Manual (together with the State-Specific Supplement) is more than sufficient to meet HIPAA and state-level requirements without incurring the high cost of hiring a healthcare attorney.

This Manual gives you the required written policies, procedures, and logs you need to be audit-ready. Federal HIPAA sets the baseline, but many states have stricter rules for retention, consent, telehealth, and board oversight. To be fully compliant, you should use the Federal Manual together with your State-Specific Supplement, which covers the state laws that apply to your license.

EHR vendors usually provide a Business Associate Agreement and some sample language, but that is not the same thing as a HIPAA compliance program. They cannot provide you with your policies, procedures, workforce logs, or state-specific requirements. If you rely only on your EHR, you will not be audit-ready. This Manual fills the gaps that EHRs cannot cover.

HIPAA and state laws do evolve. The Manual is editable, which means you can update your policies, logs, and forms as changes occur. You’ll always have a customizable compliance framework in place.

No. HIPAA requires formal, written policies and procedures along with logs to demonstrate compliance. A Notice of Privacy Practices is only one small part. Without the rest, you are not audit ready.

Free templates are often incomplete, generic, and not structured to hold up under an audit. This Manual provides a comprehensive, organized system with all required policies, procedures, and logs. It is also fully editable so you can adapt it to your practice, not like most other templates that are a PDF.

Yes. HIPAA sets the federal baseline, but state laws often impose stricter requirements for record retention, minor consent, telehealth, Medicaid documentation, and licensing board rules. To be fully compliant, you must meet both federal and state standards.

The Manual gives you the complete framework of policies, procedures, and logs required under HIPAA. Compliance depends on you actively customizing, maintaining, and training staff on these materials. No product alone can guarantee compliance, but this makes you audit ready.

You should update it whenever laws change, your state adds new requirements, or your practice changes such as new staff, new technology, or new services. The Manual is fully editable so you can make updates anytime.

Yes. The Manual is licensed for your practice, and all workforce members should review the policies that apply to their role. You will also receive a separate acknowledgment form so staff can sign off on their training.

It covers your responsibilities as the provider. That means ensuring you have Business Associate Agreements in place, verifying vendor compliance, and documenting those steps. EHR vendors cannot provide your full HIPAA program. This Manual ensures you are not relying on vendor promises alone.

An auditor will expect to see written policies, procedures, and logs that demonstrate compliance. This Manual organizes everything you need so you can show documentation on demand.

Insurance protects you after a problem occurs. It does not provide the proactive, legally required policies and logs that HIPAA mandates. This Manual fills that gap and reduces your risk in the first place.

Yes. The Manual is fully editable and can be tailored to solo practices, group practices, or telehealth models. All core sections are included so you can adjust language, contacts, and workflows to fit your practice.
