Medical record shredding.

Patient records, charts, and medical paperwork shredded to HIPAA standards, with a certificate of destruction on every job.

Overview

Why it has to be destroyed.

HIPAA requires protected health information to be destroyed so it cannot be read or reconstructed. Tossing patient records in the trash or recycling is one of the most common, and most penalized, violations.

Medical practices, clinics, and hospitals generate confidential paper every day, charts, billing, lab results, and patient correspondence. When it reaches the end of its retention period, it has to be destroyed properly.

Shreddee shreds medical records securely, on site or off site, to HIPAA standards, and documents every job with a certificate of destruction you can show an auditor.
