Medical Waste Disposal Overland Park, KS

The Second-Most-Populous City in Kansas is served by MedPro Waste Disposal.

Overland Park is part of the Kansas City Metropolitan area and has a robust and progressive medical community. Doctors, administrators, nurses, and other professionals join with various medical support industries to form a cohesive unit delivering world-class healthcare services. One of the support industries is medical waste disposal service providers, and it is a very critical service due to the potential danger inherent with infectious medical waste.

Medical waste is also called biomedical waste and infectious waste and may be solid or liquid. Examples of infectious waste include discarded blood, sharps, unwanted microbiological cultures and stocks, 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.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment oversees medical waste collection, transportation, and disposal of all hazardous waste, and there are definitions, policies, and other important facts and information at their website.

MedPro has listened to doctors in Overland Park and across the country about their concerns related to medical waste. We have created the MedPro Advantage in response to their feedback:

Healthcare providers are understandably concerned about increased costs. MedPro has responded with streamlined pick-ups and transportation routes to save money. We also attempt whenever possible to congregate pick-ups in the same geographic area to the same days, another savings. We pass these savings on to customers because we value their business and MedPro is in it for the long-term relationship.

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.

Doctors, practice managers and hospital administrators are also very concerned about paperwork. MedPro responded with simplified invoices and one-flat-fee service plans. A MedPro invoice will never include mysterious add-on fees or charges.

The medical profession is swamped with new regulations and requirements, including ICD (International Classification of Diseases) 10. There is also a large number of other training required, including OSHA, HIPPA, and HazCom. In addition, there are safety audits to be performed and exposure control plans, fire prevention plans, and more. These requirements are not just smart to maintain safety, they are the law.

MedPro responded with the Online Safety Compliance Portal, a platform accessed through our website – this secure, cloud-based system includes modules for most compliance requirements and certifications can be obtained. This amazing tool has several functions including:

• HazCom, HIPPA, and BBP Training
• Online Safety Audits
• MSDS/SDS
• Online Safety Plans – including exposure control and fire prevention
• ICD9 to ICD10 conversion tool
• Access to Regulations – Local, State, and Federal

Another concern expressed by doctors and nurses was insurance. MedPro has always maintained a substantial level of coverage, over and above what is required because it gives our customers peace-of-mind.

Additional programs like Unwanted Pharmaceutical Disposal is available through MedPro. Patients should be encouraged to bring their old medications in and have them destroyed properly.

Last, but certainly not least is the area of customer support. Our customers in Overland Park can access customer support through our website with a ticket system, or they may call and ask for their Dedicated Customer Advocate. This person is charged with becoming completely familiar with all aspects of the accounts they monitor. When a customer calls they speak directly with their advocate who will handle every question, comment, or complaint and then promptly gain a resolution.
