Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
 According to the new Government regulations, doctors, pharmacies, hospitals and insurance companies are required to protect the privacy of their customers, clients and patients. The most effect way to destroy sensitive documents to meet the requirement under the HIPAA regulation is through document shredders. It is now required that protected health information must be safeguarded. An excerpt from the Federal Register Vol. 65, No. 260, Sec. 164.518 states, "Examples of appropriate safeguards include requiring that documents containing protected health care information be shredded prior to disposal..."Serious penalties can result from failure to become compliant, including large fines and jail time. It is also important to protect all sensitive material, including customer and employee records, bookkeeping information, accounting, and business-related information.
