MEDICAL RECORD SHREDDING

Did you know that medical records are one of the primary targets for identity thieves? Thieves can steal your identity to get health services or insurance under your name. And just like your credit history, it's important to keep track of your medical records, shredding any copies of them the second you're done.

Congress recognized the need for national patient record privacy standards in 1996 when they enacted the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). The law included provisions designed to save money for health care businesses by encouraging electronic transactions, but it also required new safeguards to protect the security and confidentiality of that information.

MicroShred can handle all your medical record shredding needs. Utilizing truck-mounted powerful industrial shredders, we provide a secure, convenient, cost-effective and environmentally friendly method to dispose of highly confidential documents and other materials. Our mobile shredding units come to you and shred all sensitive material at your location, under your supervision.

Our unmatched level of service begins with highly professional customer service representatives who are uniformed, bonded and insured. They have passed stringent background and security checks and are well qualified to handle your sensitive material.
