Hudson Valley Cerebral Palsy Association's Corporate Compliance program encompasses the eight key elements that have been specified as requirements for compliance programs by the New York State Office of Inspector General (OMIG) and Department Of Health. Effective July of 2009, the Office of Inspector General (OMIG) created a Social Services law that requires that Medicaid providers, as described in Title 18 Part 521.1, to develop and implement effective compliance programs aimed at detecting fraud, waste and abuse in the Medicaid program.

A fundamental component of Corporate Compliance is education and training. The agency provides comprehensive training to all employees and others. Our training program communicates the agency’s mission, values, compliance expectations and mechanism for instances of noncompliance.

The Corporate Compliance program agency’s Ethical Code of Conduct address governance, employment practices such as credentialing, business operations and procedures, medical necessity, quality improvement, internal reporting, confidentiality and billing and payments. Furthermore, the agency’s Board of Directors and Administration are vested in the implementation, enforcement and oversight of the agency’s Corporate Compliance Program.

In order to meet the challenges of changing environments and regulations, the agency continuously collects and analyzing information relating to services, personal outcomes and other areas that identify trends and patterns that need to be addressed.
