A brand new, sterile needle right out of the package sends a lot of people running for the door. A used needle that has been in contact with bodily fluids is a very dangerous implement indeed. MedPro has been handling what the medical profession calls “sharps” for a long time and we have built a reputation for safety handling these items.
Some of the benefits of partnering with Med Pro are included in the MedPro Advantage:
- 1
Right-Sized Service:
It’s critical to control costs in every business, but the medical industry has been particularly impacted by new regulations and paperwork requirements. MedPro custom tailors a plan that perfectly meets the needs and budget of every customer we work for.
- 2
Compliance:
The area of compliance is something for your medical waste disposal company to handle, it’s not for doctors and nurses to worry about. Once the waste leaves your facility, MedPro takes over. We are compliant with every rule and regulation locally, statewide, at the federal level.
- 3
Insurance:
A very important issue to consider is adequate insurance. MedPro has maintained a very substantial level of coverage and we are pleased to offer that peace-of-mind to our customers. Inadequate insurance may mean an accident or compliance violation comes back on the customer, and that’s not acceptable to you or to MedPro.
- 4
Simple Invoicing:
Other medical waste companies have adopted the practice of “extras” added on to every invoice. Fuel surcharges, regulatory fees, documentation fees, and others are unnecessary and unwanted. As part of our right-sized service, we work out a price with each customer and then stick to it. One flat fee is what our customers have asked for, and we listened. Surprises are nice for birthday parties, not for invoices.
- 5
Point of Contact:
Calling a customer service number can be like playing roulette. You never know if you’ll get through, who will answer, and what kind of “service” you’ll receive.
