Why RegWatch
Behavioral health compliance is not one rulebook.
Requirements are spread across federal agencies, state departments, licensing boards, payer programs, accreditation bodies and local authorities. RegWatch brings the sources you select into a consistent monitoring and review process.
State-by-state complexity
Multi-location providers may need different watchlists for each jurisdiction, service model and facility type.
Policies can lag behind change
Teams need a repeatable way to connect new requirements with privacy, security, clinical and operational policies.
Too much noise, too little context
A raw alert is not enough. Reviewers need the source, effective dates, affected requirements and practical next steps.
Monitoring Coverage
Build a watchlist around how your organization actually operates.
Select only the jurisdictions and requirements that matter to your programs. Expand coverage as locations, services and obligations change.
Patient privacy and records
HIPAA Privacy, Security and Breach Notification requirements, HITECH and 42 CFR Part 2 confidentiality obligations.
Licensing and program rules
State behavioral health agencies, professional boards, facility requirements, county guidance and program-specific notices.
CMS, Medicare and Medicaid
Provider requirements, payment and coverage materials, state Medicaid bulletins, program integrity and participation updates.
Accreditation and certification
Selected CARF, Joint Commission and other certification or quality-program materials relevant to your organization.
Workforce and facility safety
OSHA materials, workplace violence prevention, emergency preparedness and selected state occupational requirements.
Cybersecurity and state privacy
HHS security guidance, selected NIST frameworks, state privacy and breach laws, and related vendor oversight expectations.
Monitor availability and applicability vary by source, jurisdiction and organization. Your team chooses the watchlist it wants RegWatch to follow.

Talk to AllgressWhich behavioral health requirements can RegWatch monitor?
Organizations can select from applicable federal, state and local sources, including HIPAA, 42 CFR Part 2, CMS and Medicaid materials, licensing authorities, accreditation requirements, workplace safety guidance, privacy laws and cybersecurity frameworks. Available coverage depends on the selected monitors and sources.
Can we use RegWatch without uploading policies?
Yes. You can use RegWatch for regulatory monitoring and change alerts without uploading policies. Policy uploads are optional and enable policy gap assessment workflows.
Can a multi-state clinic group monitor different state requirements?
Yes. Your watchlist can be organized around the jurisdictions, facility types and requirements that apply to each location.
How does policy gap assessment work?
You assign uploaded policies to relevant monitors. When selected requirements change, RegWatch can assess the assigned documents and identify areas that may require review, clarification or remediation.
Does RegWatch replace legal or compliance counsel?
No. RegWatch provides regulatory intelligence, workflow support and policy assessment assistance. Your organization remains responsible for determining applicability and obtaining legal, clinical or professional advice where needed.
