About this file
This document is a Corporate Compliance Code of Conduct exhibit for third-party contractors working with San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC), a public hospital and clinic system in San Mateo County, California. The exhibit establishes mandatory compliance requirements for all contractors performing work under SMMC agreements. Contractors must comply with all Federal, State, and other governmental health care program requirements and are responsible for submitting accurate information on Federal health care cost reports, including data regarding acute available bed counts for Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) payments. Contractors are required to report suspected violations of Federal health care program requirements to the SMMC Compliance Officer within fifteen (15) days of discovery, with the option to utilize the SMMC Disclosure Program by calling the Compliance Hotline at (800) 965-9775.
The Code of Conduct establishes several key prohibitions and obligations for contractor performance. Contractors are prohibited from offering, giving, or accepting kickbacks, bribes, payments, gifts, or things of value in connection with any business or regulatory relationship with SMMC. Additionally, contractors must not engage in any financial, business, or other activity that may interfere or appear to interfere with the performance of their contractual duties or that involves the misuse of SMMC or County property, facilities, or resources. SMMC is committed to non-retaliation and maintains confidentiality with respect to compliance disclosures. Contractors must cooperate fully and honestly during audits conducted by outside agencies, including compliance audits regarding Federal and State regulations and accreditation standards. Non-compliance with these requirements or failure to report violations may result in termination of the agreement and other penalties as permitted by law.
