About this file
This 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 that is fully accredited by The Joint Commission. The document outlines mandatory compliance requirements for all contractors engaged by SMMC, establishing expectations for adherence to Federal, State, and other governmental health care program requirements. Contractors must submit accurate information for Federal health care cost reports, including data regarding acute available bed count 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 via the Compliance Hotline at (800) 965-9775. SMMC maintains a non-retaliation policy and commits to maintaining confidentiality and anonymity for disclosed violations as appropriate.
Contractors must acquire sufficient knowledge to recognize potential compliance issues applicable to their contracted duties and seek appropriate advice regarding such issues. The code of conduct strictly prohibits contractors from offering, giving, or accepting kickbacks, bribes, payments, gifts, or anything of value in relation to SMMC's business or regulatory relationships, and requires prompt reporting of any such offerings or receipts to the Compliance Officer. Contractors are also prohibited from engaging in financial, business, or other activities that may interfere with the performance of their duties or involve the use of SMMC or County property, facilities, or resources. Non-compliance with Federal and State health care program requirements, or failure to report violations, may result in termination of the Agreement and other penalties as permitted by law. Contractors must cooperate fully and honestly during audits conducted by outside agencies, including compliance audits regarding Federal and State regulations and accreditation standards.
