ETHICS PROGRAM
Historically,
the heath care industry has been focused on providing medical
care to a wide ranging demographic. With enormous strides in
developing treatment and a
dvances in technology, the health care
system has expanded exponentially. With expansion, the health
care system has become more complicated requiring numerous
regulations and requirements. Unfortunately, many unscrupulous
individuals have entered the industry to take advantage of
vulnerabilities identified within the system. Additionally,
there has been a dramatic increase in fraud and abuse in an
industry wherein in excess of 15% of the Gross Domestic Product
is generated.
The mission of
the Provider Ethics Program (PEP) is to provide ethics training
concerning Medicare, Medicaid and Private Insurance Program
medical providers. As part of the program, fraud and abuse
issues are discussed in detail regarding a variety of
disciplines. The program also covers various approaches in
fostering trusting and ethical relationships within the
industry. Please contact the firm to schedule your
PEP Talk.
