Whether you are selling evaluation materials, telepractice equipment, or a complete private practice, speech-language pathologists face unique risks, including HIPAA data exposure and insurance billing disputes. In Michigan, a Bill of Sale must not only satisfy the Statute of Frauds (MCL 566.132) but also account for the transfer of items that may contain protected health information (PHI). Our template helps you document the transfer of specialized SLP tools—from fluency aids to articulation kits—while providing essential 'As-Is' disclaimers to mitigate treatment outcome liability and scope of practice violations.
Beyond the standard bill of sale sections, this template adds fields specific to Speech Therapist:
A Bill of Sale serves the core legal purpose of providing proof of the transfer of ownership of an item from the seller to the buyer. It formalizes the transaction and fulfills the legal need for documentation of the sale, aiding in preventing disputes over ownership and clarifying the terms and conditions agreed upon by the parties involved.
Treatment outcome liability
Use clear disclaimers in treatment agreements, emphasizing uncertainties in treatment results and not guaranteeing specific outcomes.
HIPAA compliance violations
Include clauses on data protection practices in contracts and ensure a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is signed if sharing patient information with third parties.
Insurance billing errors
Implement strict internal audit procedures and use precise, standardized language in insurance claims and contracts regarding payment terms and responsibilities.
Scope of practice violations
Define scope of services clearly in contracts and maintain ongoing education to ensure awareness of current practice standards and legal boundaries.
For this bill of sale to be legally valid:
Common mistakes to avoid:

Enforced by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights (HHS OCR)
Medicare Regulations
Guides reimbursement policies and procedures for speech therapy services under Medicare, requiring compliance with billing and documentation standards.
Enforced by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act)
Ensures services to children with disabilities throughout the nation, including provisions for speech therapy as part of the holistic approach to education through IEPs (Individualized Education Programs).

MCL 566.132 requires specific agreements to be in writing to be enforceable. If your sale involves professional SLP equipment or practice assets where performance or payment extends beyond one year, a formal, signed Bill of Sale is legally mandatory in Michigan to avoid future litigation.
Yes. If the equipment—such as tablets for telepractice or laptops for IEP documentation—has ever stored patient data, you must include specific representations that the device has been sanitized in accordance with HHS OCR standards. Our document allows for the inclusion of data protection acknowledgments to reduce liability for HIPAA violations.
No. To protect the seller, we recommend including an 'As-Is' clause and specific disclaimers. This prevents the buyer from claiming that the sold equipment guarantees specific clinical results, thereby mitigating treatment outcome liability common in the speech therapy industry.
If your Bill of Sale is part of a practice transfer involving staff, you must remain compliant with the Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act (MCL 423.501) regarding personnel records and the Michigan Right to Work law (MCL 423.209) concerning union-related conditions.
