Secure patient registration forms
Your patients enter contact, insurance, and pharmacy details once, with checks on required fields.
The Problem
Your Intake Still Starts With a Clipboard
It happens at every new patient visit. Six pages get filled in the lobby, then typed into your chart by hand.
01 · Clipboard packets
Six clipboard pages ask for the same address three times.
Questions your chart already holds get cut from the packet.
02 · Retyping backlog
Your front desk retypes every packet while patients wait.
Answers reach the EHR as mapped fields or a filed PDF.
03 · Inbox forms
A free form sends answers to a shared inbox as plain email.
Forms run on a vendor that signs a Business Associate Agreement.
04 · Unreadable cards
The insurance number is half unreadable, and the consent is unsigned.
Patients photograph their ID and insurance card and e-sign consents at home.
A new patient arrives early, as your reminder asked. They get a clipboard and six pages that ask for the same address three times. The insurance number is half unreadable, and the consent is unsigned. Your front desk retypes it all while three more people wait. Maybe you tried a free online form, but its answers land in a shared inbox as plain email. Your visits start late, and patient details sit where they shouldn't.
We start with your paper packet and cut every question your chart already holds. The rest becomes HIPAA compliant online forms, hosted by a vendor that signs a Business Associate Agreement (BAA). Your patients get a link, finish at home, and photograph their ID and insurance card. Your staff opens a complete packet, and answers reach the EHR as fields or a filed PDF. Check-in becomes a quick hello, not a paperwork session.
Packets finished at home
Registration, history, and consents get done from a text link before the visit.
Answers land in the chart
Mapped fields or a filed PDF reach the EHR, so nobody retypes medications.
Signatures you can prove
Each e-signature stores the time, the device, and the form version.
Our Intake Forms Process
From Paper Packet to E-Signed Intake in Five Clear Steps
You approve the field list, the consent wording, and a working test link before any patient sees your new forms.
Send your paper packet and name your EHR and form tools. We flag questions your chart already holds and vendors that won't sign a BAA. You get a fixed-price proposal.
What's Included
What You Get With HIPAA Compliant Patient Intake Forms
Every paper form a new patient signs, rebuilt for their phone, plus the handoff that gets answers into your chart.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built patient forms, logins, and private apps for.
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.

Work Culture
Why Practices Trust Us With Intake Paperwork
Intake goes wrong in small places: an alert that quotes answers, an untested branch, a missing signature. These habits catch those gaps.
Fewer fields, better answers
We cut questions your chart already holds or nobody reads. Shorter packets get finished at home, not in your lobby.
Alerts that carry no answers
Your staff alerts say a packet arrived and link to the secure inbox. Your email holds no diagnoses or medication lists.
Every signature leaves a trail
Each e-signature records the time, device, and form version. When someone asks who signed what, your staff can show them.
Tested on patients' phones
We fill every path on mid-range phones and tablets, guardian and self-pay branches included. Broken logic gets caught before your patients find it.
Honest advice about tools
If your EHR's forms or a form builder plan already fits, we say so on the first call. You pay for gaps, not a rebuild.
Your forms, your accounts
The form account, templates, and data export sit under your practice's name. Switch vendors later, and everything goes with you.

Good fit
Practices still on paper clipboards
Your lobby still runs on clipboards. Someone retypes six pages into the EHR while the waiting room fills up.
Sites with plugin or Wix forms
Your WordPress plugin or Wix form emails patient answers to a shared inbox, and nobody knows where they're stored.
Multi-specialty and multi-location groups
You need HIPAA compliant forms for three specialties, and patients keep getting the wrong history questionnaire.
Records and release teams
Your records staff chases release forms that come back missing a purpose, an end date, or a signature.
Agencies with clinic clients
Your agency runs a clinic's website and needs intake, vendor BAAs, and chart mapping done under your brand.
Not a fit
A few simple forms
You need two or three simple forms and have under $750. A HIPAA plan on a form builder, set up by your staff, costs less.
Whole-site privacy fix
Your whole website needs a privacy fix, hosting and tracking included. Our HIPAA website design service covers every page.
Online booking first
You mainly want patients to book their own visits. Start with our patient scheduling integration service instead.
EHR intake covers it
Your EHR's own intake module may already cover your questions and signatures. If it does, we'll tell you before we quote.

Form integration starts at $750 for one intake packet on a platform that signs a BAA. Mapping answers into the chart moves you to the $1,950 plan. A custom intake app on your EHR's API starts at $4,200. You get a fixed quote after a free forms review.
Most single-location practices go live in 2 to 3 weeks with one packet on a form platform. Mapping answers into the EHR adds 2 to 3 weeks of field testing. A custom intake build takes 6 to 8 weeks from field map to launch.
Most standard web forms aren't ready for patient data by default. Google Forms is covered only inside a Google Workspace account whose admin accepted Google's BAA. Wix needs a qualifying premium plan with PHI protection on and its BAA signed. Gravity Forms, a popular WordPress plugin, signs no BAA and stores entries unencrypted by default.
Online intake moves your paperwork to before the visit. Patients get a link by text or email, finish at home, and sign on their phone. Your front desk opens a complete packet, so check-in shrinks to an ID and card check. Walk-ins can finish on a lobby tablet.
Collect signatures and uploads inside a form platform that signs a BAA, not by email or text. Your patients sign with a finger or typed name, and the platform logs time, device, and form version. HHS guidance lets a required signature be electronic when it's valid under applicable law, such as the ESIGN Act.
Online medical forms push data through each EHR's own interfaces, which differ by vendor. Where your vendor allows it, each answer goes to its field through an API, often FHIR-based. Some EHRs import only from their own intake tools, like Open Dental's Web Forms. Otherwise, a signed PDF files to the chart.
A release form needs the core elements of a valid authorization under 45 CFR 164.508. It describes the records, who releases and who receives them, the purpose, and an expiration date or event. It also covers revoking in writing, whether care depends on signing, and redisclosure. Your patient signs, dates, and keeps a copy.
Yes, the EHR-Ready Intake plan adds a tablet mode for your front desk. Walk-ins and patients who skipped the link finish there, and answers join the same review queue. We set each tablet to kiosk mode, clear the session after each submission, and test on your models.
Your practice owns both. The form account, the BAA, and the data export sit under your practice's name, and custom builds include the code and cloud account. If you switch vendors, your templates and submission history go with you. We keep admin access only while supporting the forms.
Every plan includes 30 days of support after launch. We watch your first submissions, fix broken branches or mapping errors, and adjust wording your staff flags. After that, changes are quoted per request, and practices often book a short review when a consent or financial policy changes.
