Medical Waste Disposal Fayetteville, AR

Home to the University of Arkansas, MedPro Medical Waste Disposal Fayetteville, AR is Proud to Serve this City.

The third largest city in Arkansas, Fayetteville is home to the University of Arkansas and is a thriving, robust city. Hospitals serving the region’s residents and students include Physician’s Specialty Hospital, Veteran’s Health Care System, and Washington Regional Medical Center.

These hospitals and hundreds of local clinics, doctor’s offices, dental practices, and laboratories produce large quantities of medical waste, a potentially dangerous product that is regulated by the Arkansas Department of Health.

Medical Waste Disposal Fayetteville, AR

A general definition of medical waste is solid or liquid infectious blood, sharps, unwanted microbiological cultures and stocks, identifiable body parts, other human or animal tissue, used bandages and dressings, discarded gloves, other medical supplies that may have been in contact with blood and body fluids.

State of Arkansas Ark. Code Ann. 20-7-109 and Ark. Code Ann. 20-32-101 – 112 is more specific as to the definition, regulation and storage, transportation and disposal of medical waste. These regulations are put in place to protect the general public, and compliance with them is mandatory.

Medical waste disposal is an industry for experienced, licensed, and insured companies to deal with. It’s not a place for amateurs.

MedPro Medical Waste Disposal Fayetteville, AR is pleased to serve the Fayetteville area and be part of a world-class community of medical professionals. Physicians in the area have expressed their concerns and specific needs when it comes to handling their medical waste and MedPro has listened and created solutions.

Common-sense solutions are contained in the MedPro Advantage:

• Physicians have asked for low costs: We responded by instituting one-flat-rate pick-up plans and simplified invoicing. We call it “right-sized” service, where the frequency and days of pick-ups suit our customer’s budget and schedule, not ours. MedPro has learned to streamline the process of collecting and transporting medical waste. We strive to congregate pickups of several customers in the same geographic area on the same day. Saving fuel and time saves us money which we pass on to our customers!
• They asked for more and better training: We responded with the MedPro Online Safety Compliance Portal. This is a one-of-a-kind cloud-based secure portal where customers can receive current programs to train personnel on OSHA compliance, HIPPA, HazCom, MSDS/SDS, and download safety audits. Regulations are included in the platform and certifications may be completed online. The online system also includes conversion help for ICD 10 and search-ability for new codes.
• Doctors, nurses, and administrators demand better customer service. Once again, MedPro responds with a newly created position, the Dedicated Customer Advocate. New customers are introduced on the first day of service to this person who will be a constant point of contact for issues, questions, or complaints. Each call opens a ticket which isn’t closed until the customer receives resolution. Customer Service is paramount at MedPro.
• Healthcare professionals have asked for lower risk and improved safety. MedPro is constantly sharing our expertise in the areas of sharps safety, proper handling of potentially hazardous materials, and proper use of barrier protection methods. We distribute printed material, posters, and other visual aids to constantly keep personnel alert to dangers. MedPro is also compelled to carry substantial insurance coverage at all times and in all regions we serve, including Fayetteville. Insurance is peace-of-mind, and combined with safety training and precautions it allows healthcare professionals to focus on healing, not medical waste.

Other programs offered by MedPro Medical Waste Disposal Fayetteville, AR include our Unwanted Prescription Disposal Program. Patients should always be discouraged from flushing old medications down the drain or throwing them into the regular garbage. MedPro can pick up the old prescription meds or in some cases it may possible to send them in a special, secure mail-in package.

Physicians face challenges in today’s healthcare industry. From the Medical Society of Arkansas website: On Oct. 1, the coding system used by Arkansas medical providers for billing insurance companies and the government will change. Many providers probably won’t be ready, and if they aren’t, they will have trouble getting paid.

MedPro understands these challenges, and as partners in the healthcare industry we are committed to work as teammates to achieve goals.

MedPro is very pleased to serve the medical professionals in Fayetteville, Arkansas and we look forward to growing and improving an already world-class healthcare system.
