# Know what your medical waste program costs before the first pickup.

**GICMD vs Daniels Health**

When rentals, minimums and collection charges affect the bill, the disposal rate tells only part of the story. GICMD puts your containers, pickup frequency and pricing together before you approve service, with one owner following through to the invoice.

## At a glance

- Scope and price agreed up front
- Containers fitted to your practice
- One owner through billing

## Choose a program you can explain.

Choose GICMD to understand the complete medical waste service before the first pickup. Your containers, frequency and price are agreed together, with one person keeping the work, records and bill connected. Daniels' Canadian billing guide describes installed-container rentals and charges that can include minimum pickups, manifests and stops. Bring us the full arrangement for a clear alternative proposal.

## The service behind the invoice

The Daniels guide describes possible billing items, not charges imposed on every account.

| Your priority | GICMD | Daniels Health |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Pricing basis | Containers, collection frequency and price agreed in one service proposal. | Per-kilogram, pickup, rental and flat-rate billing described. |
| Container costs | Container requirements and their pricing confirmed before you approve service. | Rental billing follows installed container quantities. |
| Collection charges | The agreed collection scope and price are clear before pickup. | Guide lists minimum pickup, manifest and stop charges. |

## Why choose GICMD

### Bring the whole bill into the conversation.

Send us your current container list and collection pattern. We build the proposal around the work your practice needs, so you can assess the complete service before agreeing to it. Our upfront-pricing promise gives you a clear basis for that decision; the written quote defines your program's charges and inclusions.

### Make the container plan work for your practice.

A busy treatment room and a low-volume consultation room need different planning. We connect container requirements with collection frequency. Your team gets an arrangement that reflects its workflow, with a clear starting point for reviewing changes when the practice grows or the waste mix changes.

### Keep the invoice connected to the work.

Your GICMD contact owns follow-through from quote to pickup to records and billing. When a manager needs a manifest or an invoice explanation, there is someone accountable for closing the question. You can spend less attention figuring out who should handle the next step.

## Move with the full picture.

Agree the next service before changing the current one.

## Your next steps

### Show us the setup.

Share waste types, containers, collection frequency and a recent invoice.

### Approve the proposal.

We confirm accepted waste, local service, containers, schedule and price.

### Coordinate the changeover.

Check existing notice and container-return obligations, then align the first pickup and record handoff with your GICMD owner.

## Questions before you switch

### What do you need to compare our current bill?

Send a recent invoice, container quantities, waste categories and collection frequency. We use the full service picture to prepare a GICMD proposal.

### How does a container changeover work?

Review the current provider's return obligations before switching. Your GICMD owner coordinates the proposed container plan and first collection so the change is planned.

### Can the collection plan reflect quieter and busier rooms?

Yes. Tell us where waste is generated and how the volume varies. We consider those needs when proposing containers and frequency.
