How is medical waste treated?

Medical waste falls into three categories:

• Regulated medical waste
  • Your typical medical waste including sharps is treated by high heat auto-clave sterilization. Waste is then shredded and landfilled.
• Chemotherapeutic waste
  • This waste type is generated during the administration of cancer medications and is treated by means of incineration. This is a requirement.
• Pathological waste
  • This is medical waste containing human or animal tissue and is also treated by means of incineration. This is a requirement.

If I use the “on-call” service how long does it take to get a pickup when I call?

We have just a one week lead time on all orders.

Do I get waste tracking documentation?

Yes, you will receive one copy at the time of the pickup and the final copy will be uploaded to your client portal at bioservusa.com within 30 days of service.

How is billing done?

Clients are billed only at the time of service by invoice. For clients with an automatic service schedule with a frequency greater than once per month, invoices will be sent on a monthly basis. One time services provided for clients not under agreement with Bioserv will be COD.

No. We charge only upfront unit pricing. No fixed reoccurring costs and no additional fees or surcharges of any kind.
