X-Ray Shredding & Destruction

Secure X-Ray and MRI Film Destruction with All Points Mobile Shredding

Compliance with HIPAA for X-Ray and MRI Films

Medical X-ray and MRI films contain Protected Health Information (PHI) and must be destroyed in compliance with HIPAA regulations. All Points Mobile Shredding ensures your compliance and security by offering secure X-ray and MRI film destruction services.

One of our trained technicians will pick up your X-rays or MRI films from your location for safe and compliant destruction. After the process, you’ll receive a Certificate of Destruction to confirm compliance with information destruction regulations.

Don’t Forget X-Ray Jackets

Remember, X-ray jackets often contain additional PHI that must also be securely destroyed to protect patient privacy.

Florida Law on X-Ray Film and Medical Record Retention

In Florida, healthcare providers must retain X-ray films and medical records for at least five years after the last patient contact. Florida public hospitals must keep records for at least seven years after a patient’s discharge. (For federal guidelines, retention is typically between five and seven years for adults and up to 19 years for minors.)

HIPAA Guidelines for X-Ray Disposal

HIPAA requires the physician or healthcare facility to dispose of X-ray film, allowing for on-site or off-site destruction, provided confidentiality is maintained throughout the process. Disclaimer: This information on Florida retention periods is based on resources from the Department of Health and other sources. All Points Mobile Shredding is not responsible for the accuracy or currency of these details.
