At HHHI, integrity is at the core of the Company's values. The Company
is strongly committed to compliance with all laws and regulations.
Integrity governs HHHI's actions in all relationships, including those
with patients, referral sources, suppliers, employees and others.
Any behavior or action that is less than ethically appropriate in
any way is not tolerated.
The following are the main features of HHHI's Corporate Compliance
Program:
| |
- Structured
monitoring protocols designed to detect potential fraud
and abuse issues with corrective action or training as appropriate.
- Utilization
of a variety of branch, regional, corporate and external
monitoring protocols.
- Training
and staff education to insure an understanding of the guidelines
and policies.
- Established
policies and procedures to guide employees in appropriate
business practices, comply with the laws and government
regulations and reduce the likelihood of wrongdoing. Each
employee receives a copy of the HHHI Compliance Program
and Code of Ethics and submits a signed attestation.
- An
Integrity Hotline for either anonymous reporting of actual
or perceived improper behaviors. This hotline prevents a
fear of retribution.
