Medical Document Shredding Services for Healthcare
PHI belongs in care plans, not in open bins.
PHI belongs in care plans, not in open bins.
Indiana Records Managers supports healthcare organizations across the Indianapolis metro area with a paper-destruction process that fits busy clinical and administrative teams. From patient intake forms and billing paperwork to lab results, referral notes, and insurance documentation, our medical document shredding services keep sensitive information controlled from collection to destruction.
Our patient record shredding service fits real routines: staff drops outdated records into the locked console as-is, with no extra sorting or handling. Medical document shredding services work best when the process stays simple across shifts and departments.
When you call, you reach a local team, not an out-of-state call queue. IRM also provides Certificates of Destruction upon request, so you have documentation ready for internal audits, compliance reviews, and vendor management files.
We place a locking collection console where paper is generated, so staff drops documents in and moves on. Our team keeps the only key, tightening internal control and reducing exposure in high-traffic areas like nursing stations, records rooms, and administrative hubs.
Healthcare teams don’t have time for workarounds, and PHI can’t sit in unsecured piles. IRM gives you a clear, controlled process for secure retention and daily paper disposal for records you still need to access later. It’s built to reduce exposure, simplify compliance, and keep departments moving.
We provide recurring pickups at a predetermined interval and one-time purges for retention updates, department cleanouts, relocations, and storage room resets. Documents move from locked collection to locked trucks, with GPS-monitored vehicles and drivers who keep doors and windows locked while at a stop. Paper is cross shredded for total destruction, then baled and recycled, and our medical document shredding services support a clear, defensible chain of custody for paper records.
Retention matters in healthcare, especially when audits and payer questions surface months later. IRM stores hard-copy boxes in a secure Indianapolis record center with controlled access and 24/7 monitored fire and burglary protection with cellular backup. Only authorized staff handle records, and visitors stay accompanied. IRM tracks cartons and files with barcodes for inventory control, with next-business-day delivery and a 3-hour rush option when timing gets tight.
Can you support clinics, admin offices, and off-site sites under one healthcare system?
Yes. IRM sets consoles and pickup cadence by location, based on volume, access rules, and how each site handles paper.
How do you handle paper coming from nurses’ stations, registration, or billing areas?
We place locked consoles where paper is generated, so staff drops documents in quickly and moves on without extra sorting or prep.
Can we schedule pickups around clinic hours or shift change?
Yes. Share access windows and any patient-flow concerns, and we align service timing to reduce disruption.
Can we get documentation for audits or HIPAA files?
Yes. Certificates of Destruction are available upon request. If you need them routinely for compliance folders, tell us how you file documentation and we match that process.
Do you shred on-site at our facility?
No. Paper is collected securely, transported in locked vehicles, and cross shredded at a secure facility.
Do you destroy hard drives, X-rays, or other media?
No. IRM focuses on secure paper document destruction.
