"SEE SOMETHING? YOU MUST SAY SOMETHING. IT'S THE LAW."
Hometown Health Centers sometimes requires the services of carefully screened vendors and consultants. They are selected through a competitive bidding process to provide needed quality products and services at a fair price. In working with Hometown, vendors and consultants cannot be listed on any government Exclusion List. Anyone doing or wishing to do business with Hometown will be checked against government Exclusion Lists before being retained and during the period in which a service or product is used. It is illegal for any vendor or consultant listed on a State or Federal Exclusion List to do business with an entity participating in the Medicare, Medicaid, or other State or Federal healthcare programs.
In addition, each vendor, consultant, staff member, and board director must be committed to the highest ethical standards. This includes abiding by Hometown’s Compliance Program. To read Hometown’s Compliance Manual click here.
Concerns regarding waste, fraud, abuse, and ethical violations must be reported. Anyone who does so is protected under state and federal law. You cannot lose a contract, be fired from your job, demoted or denied a promotion at work, or removed as a board director for making a report.
If you’re a patient and see something suspicious, you’re strongly encouraged to report it. Patients cannot be denied affordable and timely access to quality care for reporting a concern. It is illegal.
