The Three Questions That Separate Us
Any courier can say "HIPAA compliant." Before you hand one your patient specimens, ask these three questions. Here are our answers, in writing.
Signed BAA on Request
We provide a signed Business Associate Agreement so your organization stays covered under HIPAA when we handle protected health information. Many couriers avoid putting this in writing. We put it in writing.
Real Cold-Chain Equipment
Temperature-sensitive specimens travel in temperature-controlled coolers and cold-chain packaging, with temperature monitoring available on request. Not just the phrase "temperature-controlled," the actual handling matched to your specimen.
Insured and Documented
Every medical run is covered by our commercial cargo and liability insurance. We provide a current Certificate of Insurance on request, so coverage for lost or damaged specimens is confirmed before your first pickup.
Medical Deliveries Done Right Every Time
Every delivery is fully documented with time-stamped pickup and delivery scans, driver identification, and GPS-verified tracking. Your team always knows exactly where each specimen is, from pickup through final delivery, with a complete chain of custody for every run.
