Compliance for Chiropractic Offices

Yes. Chiropractic offices are HIPAA covered entities because they transmit health information electronically (billing, insurance claims, referrals). Every member of your workforce who accesses patient records — front desk, billing staff, chiropractic assistants, and DCs — must receive HIPAA training. Failure to train your workforce is one of the most commonly cited HIPAA violations during HHS OCR audits.

Yes. Free forever, for up to 25 team members. No credit card required.

Yes, for any staff member with potential exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials. In a chiropractic office that usually means anyone who performs or assists with dry needling, acupuncture, or cupping, and anyone who handles sharps or cleans up after those procedures. OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) requires training at hire and every year after. Front desk and billing staff with no exposure do not need it.

Everyone on your workforce who has access to protected health information (PHI) — which in most chiropractic practices means everyone. This includes the front desk (scheduling, intake forms), chiropractic assistants (treatment notes, X-rays), billing staff (insurance claims), and the chiropractors themselves. Independent contractors and part-time staff are included. When in doubt, train everyone.

HIPAA requires training for all new workforce members and retraining whenever your policies or procedures change. Most chiropractic practices train annually to stay current and audit-ready. Stampwell makes it easy to retrain your entire team in minutes and tracks renewals automatically.

OSHA (29 CFR 1910.1030) requires Bloodborne Pathogens training at the time of initial assignment and at least annually thereafter. New tasks with occupational exposure also trigger required retraining.

Yes. Every Stampwell certificate is recorded twice: as a printable certificate for you and your team, and on the Stampwell certificate ledger. An auditor scans the QR code on the certificate and checks it against the ledger, so it can be independently verified and cannot be tampered with.

Yes. Stampwell automatically logs everything your compliance program produces: every training completion, every signed policy and employee attestation, and every officer appointment, all timestamped. You can demonstrate compliance during an HHS OCR HIPAA audit or an OSHA inspection, and your records are always ready to download.

HHS OCR penalties for HIPAA violations reach up to $2.19 million per violation category per year, depending on the level of negligence. Lack of documented workforce training is one of the most common findings in corrective action plans. A free, fully documented training program is the easiest risk to eliminate.

Stampwell is free because we want every chiropractic office to see how effortless compliance can be. Price should never be a barrier. We also spend nothing on marketing and grow by word of mouth, so the money other companies spend finding customers goes into a generous free tier instead.
