COMPLIANCE
CMS expects that ACO's will have an effective Compliance Program. The goal of the Program is to prevent and detect potential compliance issues proactively. As such, CMS requires ACO's to have a Compliance Plan, along with a "Culture of Compliance". The Plan sets expectations of clear and proper behavior of ACO Participants, ACO Providers/Suppliers, and any ACO-Related Individual.

ACO Compliance Plan
Our Compliance Plan is comprehensive and includes all elements required by CMS. It sets clear expectations for ethical behavior, and serves as a guide to help all to whom it applies make clear and sound decisions in day-to-day activities.

Compliance Reporting
ACO's are required to investigate suspected ethical violations and violations of applicable federal and state laws. ACO's are required to report possible violations to appropriate law enforcement agencies.
All ACO-Related Individuals are required to report suspected non-compliance with applicable laws, regulations, the Compliance Plan, the Code of Conduct, or any MSSP requirements. All reports can be made anonymously, but should also be made in good faith.
