As required by Federal agencies such as the Department of Health Human Services and the Office of the Inspector General
and health accrediting agencies such as CARF, we have drafted and implemented a program of Corporate Compliance. The program
outlines policies and procedures to promote within our organization sound business practices that meet ethical principles
and conformity with all applicable laws. The policies include items defining ethical principles in regard to business procedures
and contractual relationships. An important element is a non-reprisal clause on the reporting of waste, fraud, wrongdoing
and other abuse. All staff members have been informed on their right to transmit this information w3ithout compromising their
employment status or confidentiality.
A handbook on Corporate Compliance was prepared and distributed among all the member of the staff. A series training session
was scheduled and implemented to familiarize the staff with these materials.
The Office Manager is responsible for the implementation of this program assisted by a committee with members that include
the Medical Director and other staff members.
