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. The document establishes mandatory compliance requirements for all contractors engaged by SMMC, requiring full adherence to federal, state, and local health care program regulations. Contractors must submit accurate information for federal health care cost reports, including acute available bed count data for Disproportionate Share Hospital payments. Any suspected violations of federal health care program requirements must be reported to the SMMC Compliance Officer within fifteen days of discovery. SMMC provides a Compliance Hotline at (800) 965-9775 for anonymous reporting and commits to non-retaliation and confidentiality protections for individuals reporting violations. Contractors are prohibited from offering, accepting, or giving kickbacks, bribes, payments, gifts, or things of value in relation to any business or regulatory relationships with SMMC or the County, and must promptly report any such offers or receipts to the Compliance Officer. Additionally, contractors must not engage in financial, business, or other activities that interfere with performance of contractual duties or involve unauthorized use of SMMC or County property, facilities, or resources.
By executing an agreement incorporating this Code of Conduct, contractors certify that an authorized representative has received, understood, and possesses authority to commit the contractor to full compliance with all stated requirements. Non-compliance with federal and state health care program requirements or failure to report violations may result in contract termination and other penalties permitted by law. Contractors are responsible for acquiring sufficient knowledge to recognize potential compliance issues applicable to their contractual duties and for appropriately seeking guidance on such matters. All contractors must cooperate fully and honestly during audits conducted by SMMC or the County, including compliance audits regarding enforcement of federal and state regulations, accreditation standards, and SMMC system-wide policies. This Code of Conduct applies to all third-party contractors regardless of contract type or duration and serves as a foundational compliance document for the Provider Time Tracking, Invoicing and Approval procurement opportunity.
