About this file
This is a Corporate Compliance Code of Conduct document for third-party contractors working with San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC) in California. The document establishes mandatory compliance requirements for all contractors engaged by SMMC, requiring adherence to Federal, State, and other governmental health care program requirements. Contractors must submit accurate information for Federal health care cost reports, including data on acute available bed counts for Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) payments. All suspected violations of Federal health care program requirements must be reported to the SMMC Compliance Officer within fifteen (15) days of discovery. SMMC provides a Disclosure Program accessible via a Compliance Hotline at (800) 965-9775 for reporting violations, and the organization is committed to maintaining non-retaliation policies and confidentiality where appropriate.
The Code of Conduct establishes strict prohibitions against offering, giving, or accepting kickbacks, bribes, payments, gifts, or things of value in relation to SMMC's business or regulatory relationships. Contractors are prohibited from engaging in financial or business activities that interfere with their contractual duties or involve unauthorized use of SMMC or County property, facilities, or resources. Non-compliance with these requirements may result in contract termination and other penalties permitted by law. Contractors are required to cooperate fully with compliance audits conducted by outside agencies, including those related to Federal and State regulations and accreditation standards. By executing the agreement, an authorized representative of the contractor must certify receipt and understanding of the Code of Conduct and commit the contractor to full compliance.
