1 MODULE I: MEDICARE & MEDICAID GENERAL COMPLIANCE TRAINING
2 A Message From Our CEO and Compliance Officer At PacificSource, we pride ourselves on maintaining a culture of compliance and high ethical behavior. These are core beliefs that each one of us must uphold. To that end, we are proud to offer you these important trainings. Please take the time to go through the content, and help us maintain a culture of compliance.
3 Introduction PacificSource contracts with the Federal and State government to provide Medicare and Medicaid services. We are governed by Federal and State laws If you feel that you require more specialized training for your job, you may contact your contract administrator or the Compliance Department We also have to maintain an effective Compliance Program which includes measures to prevent, detect and correct non-compliance and fraud, waste and abuse (FWA)
4 Why Do I Need Training? As a first-tier, downstream or related (FDR) entity that contracts with PacificSource to provider administrative or clinical services to our members, you are required to take this training. It is also a condition of your contract We want you to be able to recognize and report incidents of noncompliance You are part of the solution
5 Objectives This training is designed to: Give you an understanding of our Compliance Program Meet the regulatory requirement for training and education Explain your obligation to recognize noncompliance and know when and where to report them Provide examples of noncompliant issues Test your knowledge of compliance
6 Who Are The Key Agencies? As a Medicare and Medicaid plan, we are governed by Federal and State regulatory agencies, such as: CMS: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services oversees the Medicare and Medicaid programs OIG: The Office of Inspector General enforces compliance on a national scale DMAP: Oregon s Division of Medical Assistance Programs administers the Medicaid program for low income individuals
7 Description of Compliance Program We maintain a Compliance Program to prevent, detect, and correct non-compliance issues. The Compliance Program is maintained by the Compliance Department Our Compliance Officer, Executive Management and Board of Directors fully support our compliance initiatives, including the Compliance Program and Standards of Conduct
8 The Compliance Program addresses important topics such as: Training and education Standards of Conduct Compliance policies and procedures Compliance Officer and Compliance Committee Monitoring and auditing How to report compliance issues Compliance investigation and resolution Disciplinary guidelines
9 Standards of Conduct We maintain a Standards of Conduct that articulate our commitment to compliance The Standards of Conduct provide information such as: Duty to report compliance issues Non-retaliation policy Reference to Federal and State laws that govern our business Reference to conflict of interest policy Your responsibilities and expectations Disciplinary actions due to noncompliance You are required to comply with our Standards of Conduct
10 FAQ Q. What is the difference between the Compliance Program and the Standards of Conduct? A. The Standards of Conduct is a subset of the Compliance Program, and addresses personnel matters such as ethical behavior and your duty to report compliance issues
11 Compliance Policies and Procedures Our Compliance Program is comprised of policies and procedures Reporting Policy: You have an obligation to report compliance concerns to the appropriate channel. You are also expected to assist in the investigation and resolution of these issues. Failure to do so may result in actions, up to and including termination of contract Non-Retaliation Policy: We have a strict policy on retaliating against those who make a good faith report of a compliance issue. Those who retaliate against an individual who reports a compliance issue will be subject to actions
12 Conflict of Interest Policy: A conflict of interest arises when your activity or relationship may prevent you from performing your responsibilities to PacificSource in an impartial manner Example: If you work in the Contracting Department and your spouse works in PacificSource s procurement department, this may be a conflict of interest Example: If you work in Business Development and have a financial ownership in PacificSource, this may be a conflict of interest
13 Example: If you work in Finance and your son works for an auditing firm that audits your firm s financial records, this may be a conflict of interest If you believe that you have a conflict of interest, you must disclose the potential conflict to your immediate supervisor, or Human Resources
14 Compliance Officer and Compliance Committee Our Compliance Officer oversees the day-to-day activities of the Compliance Department Our Compliance Committee is made up of executive members, Operations, Legal, Internal Audit, and other key areas, and meets frequently to discuss compliance issues and the effectiveness of the Compliance Program The Compliance Officer and Compliance Committee are here to assist you with addressing and resolving any compliance concerns you may have
15 Monitoring & Auditing Our Compliance Department and Internal Audit conduct routine monitoring and auditing of operational areas through our annual work plans The work plans allow us to make an independent assessment of the operational area s level of compliance If our work plans impact your area, you should be familiar with the workplan, and take the necessary steps to prepare for the monitoring reviews and audits If you believe that there are high-risk areas not on the workplan, please contact the Compliance Officer
16 Tips on how to prepare for an upcoming review or audit: Update your policies and procedures Be very knowledgeable of your operations Train your staff on the regulatory requirements Re-acclimatize yourself with the Compliance Program Be knowledgeable with your systems to be able pull requested data accurately and timely
17 FAQ Q. Will results from monitoring and auditing activities be shared with government agencies? A. We sometimes disclose issues to the government, depending on the risk and severity of the findings Q. If I have an area of concern that is not covered by the workplan, what should I do? A. You may contact the Compliance Officer and express your concerns. We will do a risk assessment to determine how best to resolve the issue
18 How to Report Compliance Issues If you suspect noncompliant behavior, you must report it. Not only is it required by law, but it is required by company policy. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary actions You may report anonymously if you choose Our non-retaliation policy allows you to report a compliance concern without fear of retaliation Once reported, we will treat it confidentially and investigate the issue You may also contact the Compliance Officer or any member of the Compliance Department to ask a compliance question, or request a clarification of the rule
19 Examples of Compliance Issues The following are examples of noncompliant issues that must be reported: Doing business with PacificSource when you are on the OIG exclusion list Failing to meet your contractual performance standards Inappropriate disclosure or violation of the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rule Not paying claims accurately or timely Failing to send member notices timely
20 The following methods are available to report compliance issues or inquiries Report to your immediate supervisor Report to your company s Compliance Department Report to the PacificSource Compliance Officer Report to your PacificSource contract administrator Report anonymously to EthicsPoint 24 hours a day/7 days a week: , i/16499/index.html
21 Compliance Investigation and Resolution If you report a compliance issue, we have an obligation to investigate the matter and resolve the issue You may be asked to assist with the investigation and resolution Usually, we resolve an issue through formal and documented corrective action plans (CAPs) We may also retrain, validate data, and enhance processes to ensure that the issue is not likely to reoccur
22 PacificSource may impose disciplinary actions, or terminate a contract We may refer matters over to law enforcement and Federal and State agencies for serious violations Example: If we discover that a provider is submitting fraudulent claims, we will refer the matter over to law enforcement Example: If you accept unlawful payments to encourage members to receive a service, we will refer the matter over to law enforcement. This is in addition to any disciplinary actions that may be imposed
23 FAQ Q. Is the Compliance Department only to be contacted when there is an issue? A. No. We encourage you to openly ask questions, seek a regulatory interpretation, or go over an issue of fact that you are unsure about Q. Do I have to do any investigation or research before reporting an issue? A. No. As long as you have a reasonable basis for believing a compliance issue has occurred, once reported, we will do the fact finding and investigation Q. Will I be notified of the outcome of an issue I reported? A. All efforts will be made to notify you of the outcome. Due to confidentiality reasons, you may not always be notified of the outcome. Rest assure, however, that your issue will be thoroughly investigated
24 Disciplinary Guidelines We maintain disciplinary guidelines to deal with noncompliant behavior There are different levels of disciplinary actions. They range from mandatory retraining, to verbal warning, to suspension and termination of contract, and will depend on the level of severity. You may be required to retake compliance training as part of the disciplinary action imposed Example: If you fail to report a compliance violation, even if you didn t commit the act, you may be subject to disciplinary actions Example: If you retaliate against an employee who reports a compliance issue, you may be subject to disciplinary actions Example: If you routinely fail to correct a recurring compliance violation, you may be subject to disciplinary actions
25 Confidentiality Rules You Need to Know HIPAA: This act protects the confidentiality and integrity of protected health information held by PacificSource and its business partners As a individual who has access to protected health care information, you are responsible for adhering to HIPAA CMS Data Use Agreement: You must restrict your use of data obtained from CMS information systems for Medicare purposes. You cannot use the CMS information system or its data for non-medicare business
26 Vendor Oversight If you work in an area that delegates certain responsibilities to a vendor, you must exercise reasonable oversight over your vendor s performance You are ultimately responsible for their performance Example: If you rely on a subcontractor to perform a service, you must make sure the vendor is doing it timely and accurately
