ETHICS PROGRAM Historically, the health care industry has been focused on providing medical care to a wide demographic range. With enormous strides in the development of treatments as well as advances in technology, the health care system has expanded exponentially. Unfortunately, many unscrupulous individuals have entered the industry to take advantage of vulnerabilities identified within the system. Accounting for 15% of the Gross Domestic Product, the health care industry has seen a dramatic increase in fraud and abuse, which, in turn, has increased the need for numerous and complicated regulations and requirements.  The mission of the Provider Ethics Program (PEP) is to provide ethics training on relevant issues for Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance program medical providers. As part of the program, fraud and abuse issues from a variety of disciplines are addressed. The program also covers a number of approaches to fostering ethical and trusting relationships within the industry. Please contact the firm to schedule your PEP talk.
