Custom HIPAA-Compliant Healthcare App Development — Built for You

Skip the AI builder. Tell us your requirements; our team designs, codes, tests, and ships a HIPAA-compliant healthcare application tailored to your workflow. EHR, telemedicine, patient portals, custom integrations — built end-to-end with compliance baked in from day one.

What we'll build for you

• EHR / EMR systems — Clinical workflows, patient charts, e-prescribing, lab integrations, billing.
• Telemedicine platforms — Video visits, scheduling, payment collection, reminders, follow-up notes.
• Patient portals — Records access, secure messaging, appointment booking, document sharing.
• HIPAA-compliant CRM — PHI-safe sales and marketing automation for healthcare practices.
• FHIR / HL7 integrations — Connect with existing EHR platforms (Epic, Cerner, Athenahealth, Allscripts).
• Mobile companion apps — Native iOS and Android, or progressive web apps from a single codebase.
• Custom dashboards and analytics — Clinical KPIs, operational reports, regulatory submissions.
• Anything else healthcare — Tell us the workflow; we'll architect the right approach.

Our 4-step build process

1. Discovery (free, ~60 minutes) — Video call to map your workflow, compliance needs (HIPAA, GDPR, FDA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HITRUST), integrations, and success criteria. We send a written scope and fixed quote within 24-48 hours.
2. Design and architecture (1-2 weeks) — UX wireframes, data model, security architecture, deployment plan. You approve before any code is written.
3. Build and validate (3-12 weeks) — Production code, AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit, comprehensive audit logging, role-based access controls, automated test suite, automated security scanning. Weekly demos, no surprises.
4. Launch and handoff (1 week) — Production deployment, compliance documentation (BAA templates, security risk assessment, audit log access), monitoring, training session, and a 30-day warranty on post-launch issues.

Compliance frameworks we cover

Every app we ship has compliance built in from day one — not bolted on after the fact:

• HIPAA — Privacy Rule, Security Rule, and Breach Notification Rule.
• GDPR — Data subject rights, lawful basis, Data Processing Agreement.
• SOC 2 Type II — Security, availability, confidentiality, processing integrity.
• FDA 21 CFR Part 11 — Electronic records and signatures for regulated medical software.
• HITRUST CSF — 19 control domains covering healthcare-specific security.
• ISO 27001 — Information Security Management System certification-ready architecture.
• EU AI Act — High-risk AI system classification, transparency, human oversight.
• 42 CFR Part 2 — Enhanced privacy for substance use disorder records.
• CCPA / CPRA and 7 US state privacy laws — Consumer rights, opt-outs, data inventory.
• WCAG 2.1 AA + Section 508 — Accessibility compliance for public-sector contracts.

What it costs

Real numbers, not vague "starts at." Most custom builds fall into one of three tiers:

• Compact MVP — $5,000 to $15,000 — Single-purpose app, one user role, 4-6 weeks. Examples: patient intake forms, simple booking widgets, document portals, focused mental-health screeners.
• Workflow app — $15,000 to $50,000 — Multi-role, 2-3 integrations, 8-16 weeks. Examples: patient portals with telemedicine, scheduling platforms, specialty-clinic EHR add-ons, basic billing.
• Full platform — $50,000+ — EHR replacement, complex revenue cycle management, multi-tenant, FDA-regulated. 12-24+ weeks. Fixed-quote after a detailed discovery.

Every quote is fixed and all-inclusive. No hourly rates. No hidden integration fees. No surprise add-ons.

Why VertiComply vs hiring a generic agency

• Healthcare compliance expertise — 21+ years of health-tech, 15+ frameworks supported. Generic agencies often outsource compliance work or hand the responsibility back to you.
• First HIPAA audit support is included — Generic agencies typically charge extra.
• Full code ownership from day one — GitHub access, no platform lock-in. Some agencies keep you on their hosted platform indefinitely.
• BAA documentation drafted by us — Many agencies leave you to figure that out.
• Time to first working demo: 7-14 days — Most agencies need 4-6 weeks.
• Fixed quote, every time — Time-and-materials billing is the industry default. We don't work that way.

Frequently asked questions

Do you sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA)?

Yes, on every custom build. Our standard BAA covers HIPAA Business Associate obligations, breach notification, subcontractor flow-down, and 6-year audit log retention.

Do you build for non-US healthcare?

Yes. GDPR for EU customers, MDR 2017/745 for medical devices, NIS2 for healthcare critical infrastructure, plus India's DPDPA and Singapore's PDPA. We work with regulated entities across the United States, EU, UK, Canada, Australia, and India.

Can you take over an existing codebase?

Yes, after a paid one-week code audit. We do not blindly inherit unknown technical debt or compliance gaps — the audit gives you a written report on the codebase's security, compliance, and maintainability before we commit to ongoing work.

How long does a custom build take?

Compact MVPs ship in 4-6 weeks. Workflow apps (multi-role, 2-3 integrations) in 8-16 weeks. Full platforms (EHR replacement, FDA-regulated software, multi-tenant) in 12-24+ weeks. Most projects have a working demo within 7-14 days.

What does a custom build actually cost?

Compact MVP $5,000-$15,000. Workflow app $15,000-$50,000. Full platform $50,000+. Every quote is fixed and all-inclusive — no hourly billing, no surprise integration fees. We send a written quote within 24-48 hours of the free discovery call.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance after launch?

Yes. Monthly retainers cover bug fixes, security patches, compliance updates (HIPAA, GDPR, FDA changes), and minor feature work. Retainers start after launch and you can cancel anytime.
