It is the policy of Campbell County Health (CCH) to fully comply with all the laws and regulations that relate to or affect the delivery of health care services and the billing for those services. These laws and regulations apply to CCH because the system receives payment for services from Medicare, Medicaid, and other government programs.
CCH wants all employees to act in ways to protect and strengthen the system's reputation for honesty. To do so, the system expects all employees to obey all laws that apply to their jobs and to help the system make sure that all laws that apply to the hospital are followed.
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) Hotline Operations accepts tips and complaints from all sources about potential fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. Your information will be reviewed by a professional staff member. Here's how you can report fraud:
CCH has a fraud and abuse compliance program that applies to employees, business arrangements with physicians, vendors, other health care providers and other persons that may be impacted by federal or state laws relating to fraud and abuse.
The Board of Trustees appoints a Compliance Officer for Campbell County Health. Compliance Officer Kim Johnson is responsible for helping Campbell County Health obey the laws that apply to it. If you have questions or concerns, direct them to the Corporate Compliance Officer at 307-688-1322 or use the Compliance hotline at 307-688-2121.
Campbell County Health has a Code of Conduct to help its employees, volunteers, and medical staff members understand the laws that apply to the Campbell County Health and affect the way in which it must act. When the words “Campbell County Health or CCH” are used, this means every department, service, or unit even if it is not located at the main hospital building.
The Code of Conduct has six “Principles” that explain the most important rules. Each Principle includes a discussion of the rules that employees, volunteers, and medical staff members are expected to follow.
An employee’s failure to read, accept, and follow this Code of Conduct may lead to disciplinary action, including but not limited to termination. If an employee does not understand an issue, that employee should seek help from his or her supervisor or the Compliance Officer.
Every employee has a duty to report violations of the Code of Conduct or violations of laws to CCH Management. The report may be made by a telephone call to the Compliance Reporting Line at 307-688-1568; the report may be made in writing on forms available outside Human Resources and the Cafeteria; or the report may be made directly to the Compliance Officer.
