Yes, Corodata provides HIPAA-compliant medical records shredding solutions designed to protect sensitive healthcare data across its entire lifecycle. Services include:

  • Secure Paper & Document Shredding: Whether onsite or offsite, Corodata ensures confidential patient records are destroyed beyond recovery. Clients receive a Certificate of Destruction for compliance and peace of mind.

Is Corodata HIPAA compliant?

Corodata is HIPAA compliant. We follow the extra protocols put in place by HIPAA to provide the required level of protection for our healthcare clients. Additionally, our employees receive dedicated HIPAA training every year to ensure they're up-to-date on the latest regulations.

If HIPAA's guidelines change for any reason, we enact the required training to give our employees the knowledge and expertise to meet the new standards immediately. That's why we possess active HIPAA security certifications, and our healthcare clients trust us to handle their shredding needs.

How do I request my records?

Corodata provides online access 24/7 so you can manage your record storage account online. Order a box or file, schedule a pick-up and create your inventory reports here. With Corodata you can access your records anytime, anywhere.
Items can also be requested by speaking with a local rep, submitting an email request, chatting with an expert, or by fax.
Your archive records can be delivered to a home or office. Keeping your data safe, secure, and accessible is our number one priority.

What measures do you have in place to prevent unauthorized access to stored data?

Our facility employs strict access control measures, including biometric authentication and surveillance, to prevent unauthorized access to stored data.

Will my business receive a Certificate of Destruction?

Your business receives a Certificate of Destruction for every visit, whether you’re destroying a hard drive or any other form of physical media. This certificate verifies that you contracted a legitimate shredding company to dispose of your data, and they followed through on their obligations.

Holding onto your Certificate of Destruction is critical because it provides a paper trail should you ever be audited. It protects you from liability because it demonstrates you went through the steps needed to fulfill your data security obligations, which is especially important if complying with industry-specific legislation like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
