Corporate Compliance

It is the intent of Daughters of Israel to uphold the business integrity and ethical conduct as a participant in governmentally funded healthcare programs and other contractual arrangements. Delivery of care must be in compliance with all laws and regulations applicable to such programs as well as all Federal, State and local laws and regulations which govern Daughters of Israel's operations. It is the responsibility of every Daughters of Israel employee, including affiliated providers operating at Daughters of Israel, Daughters of Israel physicians and other health care professionals, to proactively identify issues relating to potential fraud and abuse exposure, and to comply with the policies and procedures designed to minimize such exposure.

Compliance in this area is challenging because the regulatory requirements governing reimbursement are complex and changing. To underscore and enhance its continued pledge of compliance and to better assist all employees, including physicians and allied health professionals, in this area, Daughters of Israel is committed to this comprehensive Compliance Program.

Daughters of Israel has adopted the directives set forth in the Office of Inspector General's Compliance Program Guidance for skilled nursing facilities to prevent and detect potential violations of law. The adoption and implementation of our voluntary Compliance Program will significantly advance the prevention of potential fraud, abuse and waste and compliance with all governing State, Federal and local laws and regulations, while at the same time furthering the fundamental mission of Daughters of Israel.

Any questions as to the propriety of a particular situation should be reported anonymously to the Daughters of Israel toll-free hotline at 866-225-9900.
