Compliance is EVERYONE’S responsibility!
Our commitment
is to operate with the utmost care and in full compliance with applicable laws
and Federal Health Care Program requirements.
EPIC Management Code of Conduct is our formal
statement of EPIC’s standards and rules of ethical business conduct and is a
key part of EPIC’s Compliance Program.
Reporting Compliance Concerns
If you become aware
of any situation that may implicate EPIC’s high ethical or legal standards you
must report the matter to the Compliance or Privacy office of your physician,
medical group, or health plan. All concerns are kept confidential to the extent
possible within our legal obligations and, if you choose, may be reported
anonymously. EPIC Management has a no-tolerance policy for retaliation or
retribution against anyone who in good faith reports suspected violations.
