The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)
required all Medicare/Medicaid Skilled Nursing Facilities to have
an effective Compliance and Ethics Program in place by March 23, 2013.
The primary purpose of the Compliance and Ethics Program is to
prevent, detect, and correct any fraud, abuse, or waste, to promote
quality of care, and to have an operational Compliance and Ethics
Program in place to meet applicable federal, state, and local laws
and regulations. In order to avoid potential exposure nursing
facility providers should take steps to implement the required
Compliance and Ethics Program.
Robinson Adams - Arthur J. Gallagher has partnered with
Associated Long Term Care Insurance Company, Johnston Barton
Proctor & Rose and Care2Learn to assist you with the
development of your Compliance and Ethics Program and training
along with answering any questions you may have concerning this
program.
