So you can rest easy knowing your documents are being transported safely and securely. After all, we've been transporting regulated waste streams for years.

Tracking: The Paper Trail

MedClean uses a sophisticated software tracking and accounting system that enables us to "close the loop" by tracking your documents through the collection, transportation and destruction process, in addition to providing manifests, "Certificates of Destruction" and detailed invoices for each individual customer account. We can even bill by department, if necessary. All of these documents serve to establish a "chain of custody" which is important for your peace of mind. In addition, we assume full responsibility for your documents the minute they leave your facility, effectively putting an end to today's document destruction problems while preventing them from damaging you tomorrow.

MedClean not only provides a safe, effective service for destruction of your confidential documents, we also provide you with locked security consoles or security containers for your document safekeeping prior to being picked up by our drivers for transported to our state-of-the-art destruction facilities. All of our drivers and facility employees are educated and certified in "Chain of Custody" requirements and required to sign a "Confidentiality Policies Handbook". These policies and training procedures ensure your documents are handled properly and are safely destroyed, thereby allowing MedClean to provide each customer with a "Certificate of Destruction" evidencing that your documents have been effectively destroyed.

At MedClean we have the experience and knowledge to solve your confidential, special care and HIPAA related document management problems because we've been there before.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-191), also known as HIPPA, was enacted as part of a broad Congressional attempt at incremental healthcare reform. The "Administrative Simplifications" aspect of the law requires the United States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to develop standards and requirements for maintenance and transmission of health information that identifies individual patients. (Protected Healthcare Information) These standards are designed to:

• Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the healthcare system by standardizing the interchange of electronic data for specified administrative and financial transaction; and
• Protect the security and confidentiality of electronic health information.

The requirements outlined by the law and the regulations promulgated by DHHS are far-reaching � all healthcare organizations that maintain or transmit electronic health information, must comply. This includes health plans, healthcare clearinghouses and healthcare providers from large integrated delivery networks to individual physician offices. After the final standards are adopted, small health plans have 36 months to comply. Other, including healthcare providers, must comply within 24 months.
