Healthcare SaaS with HIPAA built into the data model, not bolted on.

Three things make healthcare SaaS genuinely different at the architecture level. First, PHI data residency: patient health information is federally regulated. Where data is stored, how it is encrypted at rest, and which vendors can access it are all HIPAA requirements that affect your data model and your infrastructure choices. These decisions cannot be made after the schema is set without a costly rebuild. Second, HIPAA Business Associate Agreements: every infrastructure vendor that processes or stores PHI, including your cloud provider, your video platform, and your analytics tool, needs a signed BAA before PHI flows to them. That vendor list shapes your technology choices. Third, the audit trail requirement: HIPAA Security Rule requires a complete audit trail of who accessed PHI, when, and what action they took. Building that into the platform from day one is straightforward. Retrofitting it onto an existing system that was not designed for it is expensive and sometimes structurally impossible. We design all three into the architecture before writing a line of code.

Yes. This is one of the most common problems we solve for clinical software vendors with an existing product. The migration from single-tenant to multi-tenant involves a data model change, a row-level security or schema-per-tenant architecture decision, a tenant provisioning workflow, and a data migration for any existing customers. We start with an audit of the existing codebase to understand the scope before recommending an approach. For most products, we use schema-per-tenant as the migration target: each clinic or customer gets its own database schema, which provides strong isolation and is technically tractable as a migration path from a single-tenant design. We plan the migration so existing customers stay on the working product while the multi-tenant version is built and validated in parallel.

We connect via HL7 FHIR R4 to Epic App Orchard, Cerner FHIR Millennium, and Athenahealth. Capabilities covered: patient demographics, appointments, clinical notes, laboratory results, and medication lists, bidirectional where the use case requires it. For healthcare SaaS platforms, the integration is typically tenant-specific, each clinic customer connects to their own EHR instance, so the integration layer needs to support multiple EHR credentials and endpoint configurations per tenant. We design that architecture in the platform from the start. For EHR systems that do not expose FHIR APIs, we work with HL7 v2 or negotiate direct API access with the vendor. The integration is assessed during week-one discovery so you know the exact method, authentication flow, and data scope before development begins.

A focused HIPAA-compliant healthcare SaaS with core clinical workflow, multi-tenant architecture, role-based access, and a single EHR integration typically runs $60,000 to $100,000. A full-featured platform with mobile apps, subscription billing, multiple EHR integrations, usage-based analytics, and white-labelling typically runs $100,000 to $160,000. Cost drivers are the number of EHR integrations, whether native mobile apps are required alongside the web platform, the complexity of the billing model, and the number of tenant types. Every project is scoped before pricing. The fixed total is agreed before development starts.

Most healthcare SaaS builds deliver in 12 to 14 weeks. A focused MVP, a single core clinical workflow, HIPAA compliance, multi-tenancy, role-based access, and one EHR integration, can deliver in 10 to 12 weeks. A platform with mobile apps, multiple EHR integrations, subscription billing, and white-labelling typically runs 14 to 18 weeks. Every project starts with a week-one discovery and compliance architecture session before development begins, which is included in the total timeline. You leave week one with a written scope, a compliance architecture document, an EHR integration assessment, and a fixed price.

We build subscription billing via Stripe for most healthcare SaaS platforms. Capabilities include per-seat billing for clinic staff, per-patient billing for care management platforms, usage-based billing for API-access products, and tiered plans with feature gating. Tenant-level plan management in the admin dashboard so you can upgrade or downgrade a customer account without a code deployment. Stripe invoicing, dunning management, and failed payment recovery are all configured as part of the billing integration. For platforms selling to healthcare enterprises, we also support purchase order workflows and offline billing where Stripe's standard subscription flow does not match the procurement process.
