Any waste we collect is brought to a treatment facility. Using environmentally friendly autoclave technology, the waste is sterilized, shredded\/compacted, and then transferred to a landfill.

Regardless of the destruction method, all clients are provided with access to certified manifest documents showing proof of compliant destruction.\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div>

MedPro Disposal does not provide, or sell, sharps containers for clients. We found that there is such a wide discrepancy in manufacturers and the size of containers it would be impossible to offer a solution that fits all client needs, especially if factoring in the need to securely mount the container within an existing receptacle.\u00a0\u00a0
We advise clients to purchase sharps containers directly from a medical supply company and we are more than happy to provide a referral to one, if needed. Filled and secured sharps containers may then be placed in one of our larger biohazard waste containers.\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

OSHA and HIPAA compliance are required by law for any healthcare facility to open. OSHA protects employees\u2019 safety and HIPAA protects patients\u2019 safety and privacy. Depending on your practice, one may be required and not the other, but both are usually required.\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Insurance Coverage & Liability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Insurance coverage and liability are critical for your medical waste management. These frequently asked questions explain how MedPro Disposal protects your practice or facility and why insurance coverage matters for compliance and safety, and your peace of mind. <\/p>\n\n\n

\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\tHow does insurance coverage protect my facility or clinic during audits or investigations?<\/span><\/div>

Insurance coverage protects your facility or clinic by shifting the financial and legal responsibility for incidents like spills or transport accidents to your waste disposal provider. This insurance coverage helps minimize your facility\u2019s liabilities, risk of fines, and safeguards your reputation.\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div>

\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\tWho is legally responsible for regulated medical waste disposal?<\/span><\/div>

The facility generating the regulated medical waste (RMW) is legally responsible for its disposal. Your facility (whether a clinic or hospital) holds primary responsibility for the proper handling, documentation, and disposal of these materials. You must keep accurate waste handling permits and transport manifests. If the paperwork is wrong or missing, liability remains with you, not your waste disposal provider.\u00a0\u00a0
\u00a0
When considering a waste disposal provider, ask about the indemnification clauses in your waste disposal contract. These clauses help shift certain liabilities for losses, damages, claims, and expenses from you to your waste disposal provider as part of your contractual agreements.\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div>

\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\tWhat types of insurance should a medical waste disposal provider carry?<\/span><\/div>

A reliable medical waste disposal provider should carry several types of insurance. These insurance policies should provide coverage for liabilities during storage, transport, medical waste disposal, and environmental contamination, such as:\u00a0

\u2022 Comprehensive General Liability (CGL): This covers bodily injury and property damage caused by pollution or waste disposal.\u00a0

\u2022 Environmental Impairment Liability (EIL): Covers damages caused by pollution or waste.\u00a0

\u2022 Umbrella and Excess Liability Insurance: A policy that offers additional coverage beyond your primary policies.\u00a0

\u2022 Automobile Insurance: Covers liabilities to waste disposal transport vehicles.\u00a0

\u2022 Product liability, personal injury, and property insurance: these are specialized policies that you can get depending on your clinic or facility\u2019s needs and circumstances.\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div>

MedPro Disposal carries $33 million in insurance coverage for its medical waste disposal services. We assume full title of your waste once it leaves your facility, with $33 million in comprehensive insurance coverage for liability indemnification. This means we will protect your facility every step of the way, from waste handling to transport and disposal.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

MedPro\u2019s liability coverage includes environmental liability, regulatory compliance, transportation, and accidental spill coverage. This comprehensive protection ensures that your facility avoids costly penalties or legal exposure.\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Unfortunately, MedPro cannot take full title responsibility and liability for your hazardous waste. You retain full responsibility and liability for the hazardous waste that you produce. Federal regulations refer to this as your “cradle-to-grave” responsibility. That means you are legally accountable for the hazardous waste you generated. MedPro Disposal, like all other providers, cannot assume full title and liability for it.\u00a0
\u00a0
The good news: MedPro Disposal assumes full title and liability for other types of regulated medical waste (RMW). That includes sharps, infectious waste materials, and trace chemotherapy. RMW also includes non-hazardous, non-regulated pharmaceutical waste streams. Our comprehensive $33 million insurance coverage and liability indemnification back this guarantee.\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Healthcare facilities can limit their liability by:\u00a0\u00a0

\u2022 Making certain that the documentation that accompanies all their waste transports is complete and accurate (all manifests and permits).\u00a0

\u2022 Regularly reviewing their waste disposal insurance certificates and indemnification provisions.\u00a0

\u2022 Following strict internal protocols on regulated medical waste segregation, containment, labelling, and storage to comply with federal, state, and local regulations.\u00a0

\u2022 Partnering only with licensed, reputable medical waste management providers.\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
