Family Service is dedicated and committed to meeting high ethical standards and compliance with all applicable laws in all activities regarding the delivery of services. Family Service adopted this Corporate Compliance Plan (Compliance Plan) to comply with the provisions of the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (OIG). This Compliance Plan describes our procedures for detecting and preventing fraud, waste, and abuse.
As is detailed within this Compliance Plan, it is the duty of all of our employees, volunteers, contractors, vendors, and agents to comply with all Family Service policies as applicable to their individual areas of employment or contracts and program service requirements.
This Compliance Plan also advises all of our employees, volunteers, contractors, vendors, and agents of the procedures to be used in reporting non-compliance with such Federal and State laws.
An effective compliance program helps identify and prevent illegal and unethical conduct and demonstrates Family Service’s commitment to honest and responsible corporate conduct. The primary purpose of this Compliance Plan is to improve quality, efficiency, effectiveness of client care and privacy and operational activities. This Compliance Plan shall help to organize our resources to detect and resolve payment discrepancies, inaccurate billing and other violation of this Compliance Plan as quickly and efficiently as possible, and to establish and maintain systemic checks and balances to prevent future recurrences of any such findings.
