From the CC license: "NonCommercial means not primarily intended for or directed towards commercial advantage or monetary compensation."

I'm definitely not a lawyer and would like to hear from one interpreting the license for this use case, but it sounds like that could be interpreted to mean not okay to use for a business if it generated a commercial advantage, like HIPAA compliance.

Clarification from your lawyer (published on your site) would be good if you aren't okay switching to a more permissive license.

Suggestion: name them "FREE HIPAA DOCS AVAILABLE AT [URL]" and use a license requiring attribution, should make them hard to resell?
