9 Relationships with Other Providers Avoidance of Conflicts of Interest Northside monitors its business dealings to structure relationships with physicians and other healthcare providers consistent with relevant federal and state laws in furtherance of Northside s mission. Northside trains appropriate personnel on the restrictions governing the manner in which Northside transacts business and its relationships with physicians and other healthcare providers. Northside understands that any private activities or interests that influence (or could appear to influence) an individual s ability to objectively perform his or her work must be avoided. Northside employees and agents should disclose to their supervisor, the Chief Compliance Officer or the Legal Services Department any situation that could be a conflict of interest with Northside as well as any financial interest or other position with a Northside vendor, supplier, competitor or other business relation that could create a conflict of interest with Northside. 9 of 35
10 Strong Relationship with Payors Lobbying and Political Activity Northside strives to accurately bill all payors, including public and commercial insurance payors. Northside monitors its practices to prevent inaccurate claim submissions and to promote accurate cost report practices. Northside refrains from lobbying and engaging in political activity that may jeopardize its federal and state tax exempt status. Northside resources and funds shall not be used to contribute to political campaigns or in furtherance of political activity. Officers and employees may personally participate in or contribute to political organizations or campaigns but must do so as individuals, and not as representatives of Northside. 10 of 35
11 Government Contracts Northside is committed to conducting business with all Government agencies Federal, State, Local and Foreign. Northside has developed a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Government Contracts. Specialized training will be provided to employees and contractors who will be working on and supervising those who work on a Government contract or subcontract. Employees who are not working directly on a Government contract should take special note of the sections concerning employment of former government employees, restrictions on gifts and gratuities, and the procurement integrity policy. 11 of 35
12 Gifts of Cash or Cash Equivalents Ineligible Persons Northside employees are not permitted to accept or solicit, or to pay or provide, gifts of cash (or cash equivalents) based on the individual s position or association with Northside or related to any Government contract or subcontract, or the prospect of such contract. Northside has mechanisms in place to detect and prevent the employment or engagement of any individual or entity excluded or discharged from participation in Federal healthcare programs. Prospective and current employees and contractors shall disclose any debarment, exclusion or other suspension from participation in Federal healthcare programs or any conviction of a criminal offense related to the provision of healthcare items or services. 12 of 35
13 Responding to Government Investigations In the unlikely event a government investigation is conducted: Immediately notify the Chief Compliance Officer or the Legal Services Department. Do not attempt to interfere with the government s investigation. Do not destroy, delete, hide, alter, or otherwise dispose of any documents, s, or other information relating to the subject of the investigation. Any attempt to hide or destroy documents sought in an investigation is a serious violation of law and Northside s Compliance Program. Do not discuss the investigation or the events under investigation except at the direction of the Chief Compliance Officer or Legal Services Department. 13 of 35
14 Responding to Government Investigations If a government agent or investigator contacts you or requests an interview (either at Northside or your home), you should immediately notify the Chief Compliance Officer or the Legal Services Department. You should also contact your own personal counsel (if you have counsel), before answering any questions or submitting to an interview. Always keep in mind, however, that you have no obligation to consent to an interview. You should obtain the following information from the investigators: the name, agency affiliation, business telephone number, and business address of all investigators, and the reason for the visit. 14 of 35
15 Confidential Information Safeguarding Patient Information Northside has developed systems to maintain the integrity and privacy of documents, records, images and other information. Northside employees are required to safeguard and not disseminate all such information. If you are unsure of the protections that apply to a document or record, please ask your supervisor or the Chief Compliance Officer. Northside maintains policies that apply specifically to financial information and patient information. Northside also maintains policies that apply to third party information that Northside has obtained under an obligation of confidentiality and Government contractor bid and proposal and Government source selection information Northside is committed to maintaining the integrity and security of patient health information and has developed policies and procedures governing the use and disclosure of this information. Northside strongly encourages you to report any issues or concerns you have about the security or integrity of patient information. If you observe or suspect any inappropriate or suspicious activity, it is your responsibility to report it to your supervisor, the Privacy Officer , the Security Officer or the HIPAA Hotline of 35
16 HIPAA Federal and state laws contain privacy and security rules that govern the use and disclosure of patient health information. For example, a federal law, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ( HIPAA ), has standards to protect the use and disclosure of protected health information ( PHI ). 16 of 35
17 What is PHI? PHI consists of patient identifiable information delivered via paper, verbal communications or electronic means. Examples include: Patient name Date of birth Medical record number # Address address SS # PHI may be shared among caregivers for the purposes of: Treatment, Payment or Healthcare Operations ( TPO ). Healthcare Operations include: QA/QI, Utilization Review, Disease Management, Credentialing, Auditing, etc. Requests for uses or disclosure of PHI for non-tpo purposes should be submitted to the Privacy Officer, of 35
18 Using PHI Use or disclosure of PHI should be on a need to know basis. Access to a system does not imply that it is appropriate to search any patient information at will. In other words, never look at patient information unless it is necessary to do your job. Only use the absolute minimum necessary patient information. Employees must read and sign a Confidentiality of Information & Computer Access Code Agreement, which explains your responsibility to keep information confidential and secure. 18 of 35
19 PHI Security Do not leave any PHI data displayed on your monitor or unprotected at your workstation when you are away. Always log out of an application before leaving your workstation. Lock your computer and secure PHI when you leave your workstation. Always place monitors in a location that prevents others from viewing information on the screen. Use screen savers to help ensure confidentiality. Make sure laptops and PCs are monitored and secure. Never send PHI via or the Internet without using encryption that is approved by the IS department. Call the IS Help Desk at if you suspect a PC is infected with a virus or under any other sort of electronic attack. 19 of 35
20 Usernames and Passwords Never share your username or password with anyone. Memorize your password, do not write it down. Do not use family members or pets names, phone numbers, birth dates or other easily guessed information as your password. Change your password periodically (at least every 90 days). If you suspect your password has been compromised, change your password immediately. 20 of 35
