The Problem
Patient Data Ends Up in Inboxes, Pixels, and Personal Phones
Most practices add tools one at a time: a booking widget, a form plugin, a texting app. Each one solves a small problem. Together they spread patient data across vendors nobody checked.
Retyped bookings
Booking requests arrive by email and get retyped into your EHR.
Retyped bookings
Online booking writes straight into your EHR's schedule or a covered booking tool.
PDF intake
Intake packets arrive as PDF attachments your staff key in.
PDF intake
Intake forms on a covered platform send answers to the chart or file a signed PDF.
Personal phones
Reminder texts go out from a staff member's personal phone.
Personal phones
Texts move to a platform that signs a BAA, with opt-in captured on your site.
Ad pixels
An ad pixel on your booking page reports appointment clicks.
Ad pixels
Pixels come off your patient pages, and bookings get counted without health details.
Unknown vendors
Nobody can say which vendors hold patient data or signed a BAA.
Unknown vendors
You get a vendor list showing what each tool stores and where its BAA sits.
A new patient books through a widget that emails your front desk, and someone retypes the request into athenahealth the next morning. The intake packet arrives as a PDF attachment. Reminder texts go out from a staff member's personal phone. Meanwhile, an ad pixel on your booking page reports each appointment click, which HHS guidance says can disclose patient data. Nobody planned this setup. It grew one tool at a time, and now nobody can say which vendors hold patient data or which signed a BAA.
We start with a free review that follows one patient from search to check-in and lists every tool that touches their data. Then we connect or replace the pieces. Booking moves inside your scheduler, intake forms go under a BAA, and texting runs on a platform that signs one. Your analytics counts bookings without health details. Everything sits in accounts your practice owns, and your staff stop retyping.
Vendors that sign BAAs
Booking, intake, texting, and hosting run on vendors that sign a business associate agreement with your practice.
Bookings in your real schedule
Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NexHealth, or Jane takes each booking, so your front desk skips the retyping.
Tracking without health details
Your analytics counts bookings and form starts, while ad pixels stay off pages where your patients enter health details.

Our Process
From Free Patient Journey Review to Live Bookings in Five Steps
Nothing goes live until you've approved a fixed-price plan, checked every screen on staging, and watched test patients move from booking to chart.
We follow one patient from your site to check-in: the booking link, the forms, the reminder texts, and where each record lands. You get a short written list of gaps and the vendors that still need a BAA.
What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
What clients told us after we built their sites, apps, and integrations.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Not a fit
Need a certified EHR
You need certified EHR technology for Medicare Promoting Interoperability. A certified product fits better, so we build booking, forms, and messaging around it. Specialty clinics without that need can get a custom chart from our EHR and EMR Software Development service.
510(k) filing only
You need your 510(k) or De Novo request written and filed. A regulatory consultant does that. Our Medical Device Software Development service builds the software and IEC 62304 records they file, and Medical Device Cybersecurity Consulting writes the security file.
Budget under $400
Your budget is under $400 and you only need a booking button. Your EHR's scheduler link or Jane's booking page may already do that job.
Marketing only
You want more patients from search, ads, and reviews, with no new software. Our Healthcare SEO, Healthcare PPC, and Reputation Management programs handle that monthly, without a build.
HIPAA certificate
You want a HIPAA certificate to show patients. No official HIPAA certification exists, so our HIPAA Compliance Services and HIPAA Security Risk Assessment Services support your own compliance work instead.
Billing done for you
You need claims coded, filed, and followed up each month. A medical billing company does that work; our Medical Billing Software Development service builds the software, not the billing itself.
Epic rollout
You run a health system and need Epic rolled out across departments. Epic's team and its implementation consultants run that work; we build the patient sites, booking, and forms around it.
Clinicians for telehealth
You need licensed clinicians to staff your telehealth service. A provider network or medical staffing partner supplies them; our Telehealth Platform Development service builds the software they work in.
Not sure we're the right fit?

Pricing
Transparent Starting Prices for HIPAA Compliant Software Development Services
These are starting points in USD. Your final price depends on the EHR you run, provider count, and form count, and you get a fixed proposal after a free patient journey review. Monthly SEO and review programs have their own pricing pages.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Plain answers on cost, timelines, HIPAA rules, and working with the EHR you already run.
Saimul IslamFounder & CEO, DeveloperLookStill have questions?
Send a message or book a call with the team.
Healthcare software from DeveloperLook starts at $400 for a single setup and $2,850 for a clinic site with online booking and intake forms. Custom web apps on your EHR's API cost more: intake apps start at $4,200 and booking apps at $4,600. Multi-provider builds start at $7,050. A pilot that settles which rules apply starts at $1,450, and a patient app for iOS and Android with a staff dashboard starts at $4,650.
Most single setups go live in 1 to 3 weeks, while a connected clinic site with booking and intake takes 5 to 7 weeks. Multi-provider builds with triage and chart-mapped intake take 8 to 10 weeks. Vendor steps often set the pace: carriers review texting registrations, and each BAA needs your signature before patient data moves.
Healthcare software development is the design and coding of the apps, websites, and integrations that providers and patients use around care. For your practice, that means booking, intake, messaging, billing, and the connections between them and the EHR. It includes healthcare web development services too, since most patients start on the practice site. Anything that touches health data has to meet HIPAA.
HIPAA compliant software is any program your practice can use for patient health information while meeting HIPAA's Privacy and Security Rules. That usually means encrypted connections, unique logins with role limits, audit logs, and a vendor that signs a business associate agreement. HHS doesn't recognize private HIPAA certifications, so a vendor's badge proves little. What counts is how the software is set up and whether the BAA is signed.
Software counts as compliant when it supports the Security Rule's technical safeguards and runs under a BAA. Those safeguards, listed in 45 CFR 164.312, cover access control, audit controls, data integrity, user authentication, and transmission security. Encryption at rest is addressable today, and an HHS rule proposed in January 2025 would make it mandatory. How your team configures the software matters as much.
You make HIPAA compliant software by designing around patient data from the first sketch. Start with a risk analysis of where health information enters, rests, and leaves. Host on a cloud that signs a BAA, such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, then add encryption, role-based access, MFA, and audit logs. Keep ad pixels off any screen that shows health details, and test with fake patient records.
We develop healthcare software around the systems you already run. First we follow one patient from search to check-in and list every step your staff retype. Then we check what your EHR offers, since Epic Open Scheduling or healow Open Access may already cover booking. We build only the gaps, through each vendor's supported API, and you approve every screen on staging.
Building a healthcare app starts with a choice between a web app and a native app. A web app runs in the browser, skips app store review, and suits booking, intake, and patient portals. Native iOS and Android apps suit daily use, such as home exercise programs, and need store approval plus device testing. Either way, plan for covered hosting, signed BAAs, and a supported EHR connection.
Yes, through the paths each vendor supports. Epic Open Scheduling lets new patients book without a MyChart account. eClinicalWorks practices can use healow Open Access, and athenahealth offers self-scheduling in its patient portal. For a custom booking screen, NexHealth's API reads open slots and creates appointments in the systems it supports. Intake answers reach the chart through the EHR's own interface or as a signed PDF.
Your practice owns the code, the domain, every vendor account, and each BAA, signed directly between your practice and the vendor. When our team must handle real patient data, we sign a BAA with your practice too. Our team uses separate logins that you delete at handover. Patient records stay in your EHR and covered tools, and each plan includes 30 or 60 days of support after launch.
