Compliance Policy
We must ensure that we follow basic, fundamental principles of ethical and business conduct. In today’s dynamic world of healthcare, we must help each other comply with applicable laws and regulations, our own internal policies and procedures and good business practices. To live up to that commitment, we have established a Compliance Program for Village Care of New York designed to promote a work environment that fosters compliance with ethical, legal and regulatory requirements. The heart of the compliance program is the Code of Conduct, which sets forth the fundamental principles we must follow in dealing with clients, residents, affiliated health care providers, payors, vendors, independent contractors and one another. The Compliance Program is important to Village Care of New York and the people we serve.
NOTE: January 1, 2007
The federal Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 requires health care providers receiving Medicaid revenues to provide information to employees concerning the Federal False Claims Act, state laws concerning false claims, the healthcare provider’s own policies for preventing and detecting fraud, waste and abuse and an employee’s right to be protected from retaliation.
