Medical Records Shredding and HIPAA

Choosing the Right Company for Medical Records Shredding 

The handling of sensitive, medical records and their destruction is a primary consideration to ensure compliance with current HIPAA regulations.

Medical Documents and HIPAA Regulations

HIPAA, The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, defines policies and guidelines designed to protect the security and privacy of individual health information. This includes but is not limited to medical records and a patient’s payment history.

HIPAA specifies that when handling medical records:

If destruction/disposal services are contracted, the contract shall:

  1. Specify the method of destruction/disposal.
  2. Specify the time that will elapse between acquisition and destruction/disposal of data/media.
  3. Establish safeguards against breaches in confidentiality.
  4. Provide proof of destruction/disposal.

HIPAA and the Appropriate Disposal of a Patient’s Medical Files

The handling and thorough destruction of documents and media regulated by HIPAA standards are a priority for any doctor, clinic, hospital or federal agency. Allow us to manage your compliance needs when it comes to the secure elimination of sensitive, medical data.

Proven in the field of compliance management, Secure Document Destruction of St. Louis guarantees discreet, complete destruction of all regulated material. Contact us today.

Dignity Health provides further information on the proper handling and disposal of medical records under HIPAA regulations, or rather, how not to handle patient records: “Entities may not dispose of records in a dumpster or in other containers accessible by the public or unauthorized persons in general unless they have, again, been rendered unreadable and unable to be reconstructed.”

In particular, an organization that maintains your medical documents may not simply throw them away, unsecured. Choosing a proven company like Secure Document Destruction of St. Louis ensures you will adhere to all HIPAA regulations and standards by allowing us to handle all of your sensitive document disposal needs.
