Add a distinct HIPAA series to your catalog without producing and maintaining every lesson yourself.
Build a course for new hires, annual refreshers, managers, or teams with specialized responsibilities.

Pricing depends on how many people you train, how many customer organizations you serve, how the videos are delivered, and how much customization you need.
For healthcare organizations and business associates training their own workforce.
For compliance companies and learning platforms distributing content to multiple customers.
Because the series is made of short, separate lessons, we can revise the videos affected by a new rule or security threat without replacing everything else.
We follow HIPAA guidance, enforcement news, breach patterns, and security threats.
We check the library each year and flag anything that needs to change.
Licensees receive the revised lesson along with a plain summary of what changed.
HIPAA does not require every employee to watch the same annual video. Privacy training has to fit each person’s job and be repeated when a policy change affects that job. The Security Rule also calls for an ongoing security-awareness program. Many organizations use annual training as a practical way to reinforce the rules and keep a record of it.
It depends on the job and the lessons assigned. A five-minute video can teach one topic well, but no single video covers every role or every company policy. Honest lessons are meant to be combined into the course each group needs.
No. The federal government does not certify commercial HIPAA training vendors. Honest supports employee education, but every organization still needs its own policies and compliance program.
Yes. Start with HIPAA Essentials, add the packs you need, or license the whole library.
Yes, under a multi-client distribution agreement. A single-organization license does not permit redistribution.
Yes. We can discuss co-branding, your incident-reporting instructions, white-label delivery, or fully custom episodes. The scope and price depend on what you need.
