HIPAA Compliant — Every Single Pickup

Patient film has patient names on it. You can't just hand it to anybody. Here's how we protect you and your facility.

Business Associate Agreement

We sign a BAA before we touch a single sheet. Your compliance officer gets it in writing.

Sealed Chain of Custody

Film is sealed in tamper-evident containers at your site and stays sealed until destruction.

Certificate of Destruction

Signed and dated certificate issued for your records. Audit-ready, every time.

Trained, Insured Crews

No day labor, no subcontracted strangers. Insured personnel who know the rules.

X-ray film and jackets handled under HIPAA chain of custody
Patient details redacted.  Every jacket we touch carries a name on it. That's exactly why the BAA and the sealed chain of custody aren't optional.

How It Works

Four steps. Usually done inside a week.

1

Call or Submit

Tell us roughly what you have and where you are. Rough estimates are fine.

2

Get Your Price

We quote you a rate based on weight and film type. No games, no bait pricing.

3

We Pick It Up

We schedule around your operation and handle all the loading. You do nothing.

4

You Get Paid

Payment on pickup, plus your Certificate of Destruction for the file.

Closing, Moving or Going Digital?

Film rooms don't clean themselves out. We do the whole job — processor room, storage closet, the boxes nobody has opened since 2009.

A film processing room being cleared out during a practice cleanout
  • ▸ Practice closures and retirements
  • ▸ Hospital and clinic record purges
  • ▸ Going digital — clearing the old archive
  • ▸ Relocations and suite turnovers
  • ▸ Water damaged or disorganized film
  • ▸ Old processors, fixer and silver flake

Messy is fine. Unsorted is fine. Loose film on the floor is fine. We've seen worse and we still pay by the pound.

Common Questions

How much is my film worth?
It depends on weight, film type and current silver markets. Call us with a rough weight and we'll give you a number the same day.
Is there a minimum quantity?
For pickup we generally want 100 lbs or more. Smaller than that, call us anyway — if we have a truck in your area we'll grab it.
Do you charge for pickup?
No. Pickup is free anywhere in the country. The price we quote you is the price you get.
What about patient privacy?
We sign a Business Associate Agreement, seal the film in tamper-evident containers at your site, and issue a signed Certificate of Destruction. Your compliance file is covered.
How fast do I get paid?
On pickup. Cash, check or wire — your choice.
Do you buy from closed or relocating practices?
Yes. Practice closures and record purges are a big part of what we do. We'll clear the whole room.
