Do you audit medical and regulated waste billing for healthcare facilities?
Yes — and it's one of our core specialties. We audit regulated medical waste (RMW), sharps disposal, pharmaceutical waste, and biohazardous waste billing for assisted living facilities (ALFs), skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), memory care communities, and other healthcare organizations. Medical waste billing is notoriously complex and almost universally overpriced. We have deep experience identifying misclassification errors, above-market rates, and phantom charges specific to the healthcare waste stream.
Are you familiar with Florida's regulations for regulated medical waste in assisted living and nursing homes?
Yes. We work within the framework of Florida Department of Health (FDOH) rules and EPA guidelines for regulated medical waste management in ALF and SNF settings. Our goal is to ensure your waste program is fully compliant while eliminating the overbilling that commonly occurs when haulers apply hazardous waste rates to regulated medical waste that doesn't warrant it. Correct classification protects you both legally and financially.
What does a waste audit cost?
Nothing upfront — ever. We work on a contingency basis. If we don't find you savings that hit your bottom line, our services are completely free. If we do save you money, we share in those verified savings for a set term (typically 12–36 months). After that period, you keep 100% of the savings for the lifetime of your business.
Do you need to change my waste hauler to save me money?
In the vast majority of cases, no. We work with your existing hauler to correct billing errors, renegotiate rates, fix waste classifications, and improve contract terms. Changing vendors is always an option, but it's rarely necessary — and we understand that operational continuity matters, especially in healthcare settings.
What do you need to get started?
Just three things: your three most recent waste invoices (including any regulated medical waste, sharps, or pharmaceutical waste bills), a signed Letter of Authorization, and a list of your service locations. In many cases, we can pull invoice data directly from your hauler's online portal — making it even easier on your team.
How long does the audit take?
We deliver initial findings within 30 days and implement verified savings within 90 days. Your team's involvement is minimal — typically a brief intake call, invoice sharing, and a findings review. We do all the heavy lifting.
I'm locked into a contract with my hauler. Can you still help?
Yes — and this is one of the most common misconceptions we encounter. Most billing errors and overcharges can be corrected regardless of whether you're under contract. And many auto-renewal and escalation clauses can be renegotiated. We have yet to encounter a client where an existing agreement prevented us from finding savings.
Is my financial and patient information safe?
Yes. We review waste hauler invoices and contracts only — we do not access bank accounts, payroll data, patient records, or any protected health information (PHI). All documents you share are treated with strict confidentiality and used solely for the purpose of the audit. We are fully aware of HIPAA requirements and conduct our work accordingly.
My team already handles waste billing. Why do I need this?
That's the most common thing we hear — and we find overcharges at over 90% of the businesses we review, including those with dedicated ops or finance staff. In healthcare settings specifically, waste billing involves multiple regulated streams that require specialized knowledge to audit. Unless your team has years of hauler contract experience and access to real benchmark pricing data, there are almost certainly dollars left on the table. The risk-free nature of our engagement means there's no downside to finding out.
