MedPro operates in 44 states, and we have expanded every year since our start in 2009. One of the reasons we have grown so fast is our philosophy for staying responsive to our customer needs and then offering solutions.

According to federal and Indiana statutes the term “hazardous waste” means a solid waste, or combination of solid waste that, because of its quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical or infectious characteristics may:

Cause or significantly contribute to an increase in mortality or an increase in serious irreversible, or incapacitating reversible, illness; or pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, or disposed of, or otherwise managed.

In Indiana, medical waste is regulated by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and information about rules and regulations, definitions and descriptions can be found at this website.

Hazardous wastes come in many forms. They can be liquid, solids, semisolid, or contained gases. They can be manufacturing process byproducts, sludge or spent materials or simply discarded products. Whatever their form, proper management is essential to protect human health and the environment.

MedPro observes safety regulations without exception, and has the reputation and safety record to prove it. Not only are we observant of our own compliance, MedPro has a very comprehensive and extensive online training program for our customers: The Online Safety Compliance Portal.

This amazing tool has dozens of functions including:

• HazCom, HIPPA, and BBP Training

• ICD9 to ICD10 conversion tool

Low Costs: MedPro has worked hard to research and implement better ways to coordinate the collection and transportation of medical waste. Because of our nationwide presence we are often able to schedule pick-ups for several facilities in the same area for the same day. This saves time, labor, and fuel, and we pass those savings on to our customers. Our service plans are based on “right-sized” service which also saves money. We listen to our customers when they tell us how many pick-ups they need and we build a plan based around those needs. A MedPro customer will never be charged for a pick-up that is not needed.

Insurance: MedPro maintains extensive insurance coverage so our customers have one less thing to worry about. It’s expensive, but peace-of-mind is worth every penny.

Customer Service: We are committed to resolve satisfactorily every customer issue, and to do that we have created the position of Dedicated Customer Advocate. This is the point of contact for customers to call and ask for by name. We promise prompt resolution to all issues and fast, accurate answers to questions.
