Promoting greater public understanding the unmet needs of individuals with special needs. EIHAB Human Services is further dedicated and committed to meeting high ethical standards and compliance with all applicable laws in all activities regarding the delivery of health care through its licensed and certified facilities. It is our goal that our established and effective Compliance Program will assist the Agency in fulfilling its fundamental vision, mission, and values. As such our Compliance Plan is an integral part of EIHAB Human Services’ ongoing efforts to achieve compliance with federal and state laws relating to Medicaid billing. The Plan creates a comprehensive system of oversight for Medicaid billing, reporting and practices and describes our procedures for detecting and preventing fraud, waste and abuse. The goal of the Agency’s Compliance Program is to ensure that Medicaid eligible services are properly documented and accurately billed and that services rendered, but not properly documented are not billed. In addition, the Compliance Program establishes systematic checks and balances to detect and prevent inaccurate billings and inappropriate practices in compliance with Medicaid standards. EIHAB Human Services will communicate its compliance standards and policies through required training and communication initiatives and distribution of this Compliance Plan and the Standards of Conduct to all Affected Individuals. EIHAB Human Services has appointed a Compliance Officer who is responsible for the overall operation of the Compliance Program. A Compliance Committee works with the Compliance Officer to implement and maintain an effective Compliance Program.

It remains, however, the responsibility of all Affected Individuals involved in the provision of services and the billing process to comply with the provisions of the law. The Compliance Plan also advises that all Affected Individuals of the procedures to be used in reporting non-compliance with such Federal and State laws. The Compliance Plan will be consistently enforced through appropriate disciplinary mechanisms including, if appropriate, discipline of Affected Individuals responsible for failure to detect and/or report noncompliance. As is detailed within this Compliance Plan, it is the duty of all Affected Individuals to comply with the policies as applicable to their individual areas of employment or contracts. Detected noncompliance, discovered through any mechanism, such as compliance auditing procedures and/or confidential reporting of noncompliance, will be responded to in an expedient manner. EIHAB Human Services is dedicated to the resolution of such matters and will take all reasonable steps to prevent further similar violations, including any necessary modifications to the Compliance Plan and policies and procedures. EIHAB Human Services will not take any retaliatory action against an Affected Individual who, in good faith, reports actual or suspected noncompliance or illegal activities or for good faith participation in the Compliance Program. EIHAB Human Services will not take any retaliatory action against an employee if the employee discloses certain information about the Agency’s policies, practices, or activities to a regulatory, law enforcement, or other similar agency or public official.

Guidance Any Affected Individual may seek guidance about the Compliance Plan or Standards of Conduct at any time by following the reporting mechanisms outlined above. Disciplinary Action - General Affected Individuals who fail to comply with EIHAB Human Services’ Compliance Program and Standards of Conduct, or who, upon investigation, are found to have committed illegal or unethical acts or violations of applicable Federal and State laws and regulations, the Compliance Program, the Standards of Conduct, or the Agency’s policies and procedures, will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment, contract, assignment, or appointment with the Agency. When the determination is made that a compliance violation occurred involving a contractor or vendor, the Compliance Officer will notify the Chief Executive and work collaboratively to determine and execute the appropriate corrective action.

The Compliance Officer will provide a report on disciplinary actions taken to the Compliance Committee and the Board of Directors. Disciplinary Action -Supervisory Managers and supervisors will be disciplined for failure to adequately instruct their subordinates, or for failing to detect noncompliance with applicable policies and legal requirements, where reasonable diligence on the part of the manager or supervisor would have led to the earlier discovery of any problems or violations and would have provided EIHAB Human Services with the opportunity to correct them. Auditing and Monitoring Internal Audits Ongoing evaluation is critical in detecting non-compliance and will help ensure the success of EIHAB Human Services’ Compliance Program. An ongoing auditing and monitoring system, implemented by the Compliance Officer, in consultation with the Compliance Committee, is an integral component of our auditing and monitoring systems. On an annual basis, the Compliance Officer, in conjunction with the Chief Executive, Senior Management, and Compliance Committee, will develop an audit plan based on an organizational risk assessment. This ongoing auditing and monitoring will evaluate at minimum, the following risk areas: Billings; Payments; Ordered services; Medical necessity; Quality of care Governance; Mandatory reporting; Credentialing; Contractor, subcontractor, agent or independent contract oversight; Review of contracts and relationships with contractors, specifically those with substantive exposure to government enforcement actions; Review of documentation and billing relating to claims made to Federal, State and third-party payers for reimbursement; Compliance training and education; Effectiveness of the Compliance Program; and Other risk areas that are or should be reasonably identified by EIHAB Human Services through its organizational experience. The audits and reviews will examine EIHAB Human Services’ compliance with specific rules and policies through on-site visits, personnel interviews, general questionnaires (submitted to employees and contractors), and record documentation reviews. Results of all auditing and monitoring activities will be reported to the Compliance Committee and Board of Directors. Compliance Plan Integrity Additional steps to ensure the integrity of the Compliance Plan will include: The Compliance Officer will be notified immediately in the event of any visits, audits, investigations or surveys by any Federal or State agency or authority and shall immediately receive a photocopy of any correspondence from any regulatory agency charged with licensing EIHAB Human Services and/or administering a Federally or State-funded program or county-funded program with which EIHAB Human Services participates. Establishment of a process detailing ongoing notification by the Compliance Officer to all appropriate personnel of any changes in laws, regulations, or policies; as well as appropriate training to assure continuous compliance. Response to Compliance Issues Violation Detection EIHAB Human Services maintains a formal confidential and anonymous compliance reporting process to encourage the reporting of any compliance concerns. Affected Individuals must promptly report any compliance concerns to Compliance Officer, the immediate supervisor, a member of Management, or a member of the Compliance Committee. Service recipients, vendors, and any party conducting business with EIHAB Human Services may report compliance concerns to the Compliance Officer through the confidential or anonymous reporting process. As part of its Compliance Program, EIHAB Human Services will ensure that all reports of compliance concerns are immediately and objectively investigated and resolved promptly. Such investigations may be conducted by the Compliance Officer, members of the Compliance Committee, other employees or external parties as indicated or recommended by the Compliance Officer, the Chief Executive or legal counsel. The Compliance Officer will take immediate measures to secure relevant evidence or documentation and will ensure the confidentiality of any information obtained from a report, interview or through an investigation, unless otherwise required by law. Unless a potential conflict of interest exists, the Compliance Officer will inform the Chief Executive of any pending investigations. The Compliance Officer or Chief Executive will arrange to retain legal counsel, as deemed appropriate. Reporting The results of the investigation and remedial actions will be communicated confidentially to the Chief Executive, members of the Board of Directors, and other employees based on a need-to-know basis. The Compliance Officer shall report to the Compliance Committee regarding each investigation conducted unless conducted under attorney privilege. At the conclusion of an investigation involving legal counsel, he/she shall issue a report to the Compliance Officer, Chief Executive Officer, and Compliance Committee summarizing his or her findings, conclusions and recommendations and will render an opinion as to whether a violation of the law has occurred. The report will be reviewed with legal counsel in attendance. Any additional action will be on the advice of counsel. Rectification If the Compliance Officer, in consultation with legal counsel, identifies credible evidence or credibly believes that a State or Federal law, rule, or regulation has been violated, the Compliance Officer will promptly report such violation to the appropriate governmental entity, where such reporting is otherwise required by law, rule, or regulation. If EIHAB Human Services identifies that an overpayment was received from any third-party payer, the appropriate regulatory (funder) or prosecutorial (attorney general/police) authority will be appropriately notified with the advice and assistance of counsel. It is our policy to not retain any funds, which are received as a result of overpayments. Overpayments will be reported and refunded to Medicaid in accordance with the appropriate self-disclosure protocols and any required time frames. In instances where it appears an affirmative fraud may have occurred; appropriate amounts shall be returned after consultation and approval by involved regulatory and/or prosecutorial authorities. Systems shall also be put in place to prevent such overpayments in the future. Recordkeeping Regardless of whether a report is made to a governmental agency, the Compliance Officer shall maintain a record of the investigation, including copies of all pertinent documentation. The Compliance Officer will organize the information so that the Agency can determine if an infraction occurred. The Compliance Officer will securely maintain all notes of the interviews, all evidence and review of documents as part of the investigation file. This record will be considered confidential and privileged and will not be released without the approval of the Chief Executive Officer or legal counsel.
