NHCC Compliance Program
Nassau Health Care Corporation (“NHCC”) has instituted
a vigorous compliance program that is intended to
promote ethics and integrity in the workplace and
to prevent and detect wrongdoing of any kind, including
but not limited to fraud, waste, and abuse in its
organization relating to Federal and State health
care programs.
NHCC Code of Conduct Applies to Everyone
Associated with NHCC
To this end, NHCC has promulgated a Code of Conduct,
a set of general principles to which NHCC expects
every member of the Corporation—every Director,
Officer, Clinical Practitioner, Employee (full-time
and part-time), student, and volunteer—to strictly
adhere. Additionally, NHCC expects all of the Corporation’s
contractors, vendors, consultants, and other agents
to comply with the NHCC Code of Conduct as a condition
of doing business with NHCC.
Employees are Required to Report Suspicions
of Wrongdoing; Reports Can Be Made Anonymously;
No Retaliation for Good Faith Reporting
To assist NHCC in meeting its legal and ethical
obligations, any employee who reasonably suspects
or is aware of any wrongdoing on the part of any
member of the Corporation or any NHCC contractor,
vendor, consultant, or agent is required to report
such information to his/her supervisor, to a member
of the NHCC Executive Staff, to NHCC’s Chief Compliance
Officer, or via the NHCC No-Caller ID Compliance
Helpline (see below). Any NHCC employee who reports
such information will have the right and opportunity
to do so anonymously and will be protected against
retaliation for coming forward with such information
both under NHCC’s internal compliance policies and
procedures and Federal and State law. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, NHCC retains the right to take appropriate
action against any employee who has participated
in a violation of Federal or State law or of NHCC
policies and procedures.
Patients and Others are Encouraged to Report
Suspicions of Wrongdoing
In order to help us provide our patients and nursing
home residents with the very best of quality care,
NHCC strongly encourages any patient, nursing home
resident, contractor, vendor, consultant, agent,
visitor, or other person who reasonably suspects
or is aware of any wrongdoing by anyone at or on
behalf of NHCC to report such information to NHCC’s
Chief Compliance Officer or to call the NHCC No-Caller
ID Compliance Helpline.
NHCC will Investigate All Reports of Suspected
Wrongdoing
NHCC obligates itself to investigate any suspicions
of fraud, waste, or abuse swiftly and thoroughly
through its internal compliance programs and processes.
If NHCC determines that a violation of its Code
of Conduct or other wrongdoing has occurred, NHCC
will implement an appropriate corrective action
plan including disciplinary action against wrongdoers.
