With the rise of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) it s become vital that pharmacies, doctor s offices, and other health providers properly destroy patient information. This includes medical records, therapy session notes, and even pill bottles. A high security paper shredder can help you deal with with the paper files, but you might be wondering how you can get rid of pill bottles and if it s even necessary. First off, yes, it s necessary to destroy pill bottles. After all, they contain a person s full name, physician information, prescription number, and the name of the medication the person was prescribed. All of this information is sought after by identity thieves; it s also protected information according to HIPPA and thus, it must be dealt with properly. One machine that can help you do that is Martin Yale s new ScriptStroyer pharmacy shredder. This is a powerhouse machine that needs to be in every medical office, hospital, and drugstore in America.
