Compliance Program

Choices Women’s Medical Center (CWMC) has a long-standing reputation for lawful and ethical behavior, a reputation that you and your fellow employees and physicians have earned over the years. Choices Women’s Medical Center has a Compliance Program and a Compliance Advisory Committee that includes representation from the Clinical Practice, the Human Resource, and the Center-wide Administration.

The program ensures that the center maintains its commitment to legal and ethical conduct by all employees and physicians. The primary objective is to provide direction, guidance, and resource references on how to optimize ethical and compliant behavior through an effective Ethics and Compliance Program that is compliant with applicable laws, rules, and regulations and in which public trust is maintained.

Choices Women’s Medical Center’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct reaffirms the principles that have guided this institution since its founding in 1971. It sets forth our general standards of legal and ethical conduct. We are dedicated to adding value to the center through continuous improvement, risk assessment, and control evaluation efforts, and facilitating discussion on topics of interest and concern.

I expect all employees, physician staff, and voluntary physicians of Choices Women’s Medical Center to uphold these legal and ethical principles without exception. To do so, we all must read the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct carefully and apply it to our work. If you have any questions about how our principles, standards, or policies apply, seek answers from a supervisor, the Compliance Officer, and/or the Director of Human Resources of Choices Women’s Medical Center.

Remember that standards of conduct require a personal commitment and the responsibility for ethical behavior – and thus for CHOICES’ reputation – rests in our hands.

WHEREAS, it is recognized that the workforce, including but not limited to, employees, contractors, medical staff, volunteers, students, and other persons employed or affiliated with the CWMC is responsible for the quality of medical care in the Center and must accept and discharge this responsibility, subject to the ultimate authority of the Chief Executive Officer of Choices Women’s Center and Vice President of Comprehensive Women’s Medical Care, P.C. and that the cooperative efforts the workforce is necessary to fulfill the Center’s obligations to its patients; THEREFORE, members of the workforce, including but not limited to, employees, contractors, medical staff, volunteers, students, and other persons employed or affiliated with CWMC practicing in this Center hereby organize themselves in conformity with these Polices.

FALSE CLAIMS PREVENTION POLICY

It is Choices Women’s Medical Center policy to consistently and fully comply with all laws and regulations pertaining to the preparation and submission of claims for items or services provided, or rendered, by Choices Women’s Medical Center or one of its Affiliates to Medicaid or other state or federal health programs (“Public Health Programs”).

  1. The State of New York adopted a false claims act NY False Claims Act (State Finance Law, §§187-194) that contains provisions similar to those under the federal False Claims Act. New York also adopted a Medicaid anti-fraud statute making it unlawful for a person to submit false and fraudulent claims to the New York Medicaid program. Violations of the statute are both civil and criminal in nature, punishable by imprisonment or significant monetary penalties. The NY False Claims Act closely tracts the federal False Claims Act. It imposes penalties and fines on individuals and entities that file false or fraudulent claims for payment from any state or local government, including health care programs such as Medicaid. The penalty for filing a false claim is $6,000 -$12,000 per claim and the recoverable damages are between two and three times the value of the amount falsely received.

  1. Under the Social Services Law §145-b False Statements, it is a violation to knowingly obtain or attempt to obtain payment for items or services furnished under any Social Services program, including Medicaid, by use of a false statement, deliberate concealment or other fraudulent scheme or device. The State or the local Social Services district may recover three times the amount incorrectly paid. In addition, the Department of Health may impose a civil penalty of up to $2,000 per violation. If repeat violations occur within 5 years, a penalty up to $7,500 per violation may be imposed if they involve more serious violations of Medicaid rules, billing for services not rendered or providing excessive services.

It is Choices Women’s Medical Center policy to consistently and fully comply with The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Title II, Preventing Fraud and Abuse and its implementing regulations.

Employees are held accountable for knowing or believing that information contained in a claim submitted on behalf of Choices Women’s Medical Center is accurate. Employees cannot deliberately or carelessly ignore questionable information contained in claims made to a Public Health Program. Consistent with other Choices Women’s Medical Center policy and our Code of Conduct, employees are responsible for reporting concerns related to a Public Health Program claims to supervisors, Choices Women’s Medical Center Compliance Officer or the Compliance Hotline. Choices Women’s Medical Center takes reports of suspected fraud and abuse seriously and conducts periodic audits to detect and prevent false claims. Employees that lawfully and in good faith report false claims are protected from retaliation by Choices Women’s Medical Center policy and federal and state law.

NOTE: This policy also applies to Choices Women’s Medical Center business arrangements with physicians, contractors, vendors, and other agents impacted by federal or state laws relating to Public Health Program claims.

Choices Women’s Medical Center has adopted this Code of Ethical Conduct as a demonstration of our unwavering commitment to honor all laws and regulations that govern the healthcare industry. The elements of this Code of Ethical Conduct include our Vision, Mission, Values, Basic Principles of Conduct, Standards of Service Excellence and Standards of Professional and Business Conduct and are incorporated into Choices Women’s Medical Center Compliance Program. This Code of Ethical Conduct serves to enhance and continually develop a culture that values compliance from the top-down and fosters compliance from the bottom-up throughout Choices Women’s Medical Center and among all workforce members.

This Code of Ethical Conduct is designed to provide overall guidance; however, it is not possible to address every situation. Guidance that is more specific may be provided in Choices Women’s Medical Center Policies and Procedures or in Choices Women’s Medical Center Employee Handbook. If there is no specific policy, this Code of Ethical Conduct becomes the policy. (If a policy and a Code of Ethical Conduct provision conflict, the policy governs.) This Code of Ethical Conduct is a “living document” meaning that it will be updated periodically to respond to changing conditions. Questions regarding this Code of Ethical Conduct, or any issue, should first be raised by an employee to his or her immediate supervisor, then through the chain of authority up to, and including, the Compliance Officer, or the Director of Human Resources at Choices Women’s Medical Center. Alternatively, issues may be reported confidentially and anonymously to the Compliance Officer.

Choices Women’s Medical Center and Comprehensive Women’s Medical Care, P.C. (CWMC) Compliance Program is a comprehensive self-governing program designed to proactively minimize the chances that a violation of law or government regulation occurs within CWMC. It is modeled on the eight basic elements proposed by the federal government’s Office of Inspector General (OMIG) for developing effective Compliance Programs, and includes: (1) Policies and Procedures, (2) Compliance Officer, (3) Training and Education, (4) Open Lines of Communication, (5) Enforcing Disciplinary Standards, (6) Risk Management, and (7) Responding to Detected Deficiencies, and (8) Non-Intimidation and Non-Retaliation Policies. The Compliance Officer reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer of Choices Women’s Medical Center and Vice President of Comprehensive Women’s Medical Care, P.C. and the Compliance Advisory Committee and is responsible for the administration of Choices Women’s Medical Center Compliance Program as well as the day-to-day operation of Choices Women’s Medical Center Compliance Program. Choices Women’s Medical Center Compliance Program is responsible for regulatory, privacy, monitoring and auditing issues, and training.

The Compliance Officer also chairs the Compliance Advisory Committee – a complement of multidisciplinary CWMC leaders. This committee has oversight responsibilities to ensure organization-wide compliance with the fundamental elements of CWMC Compliance Program. In general, the committee addresses various compliance related issues and other applicable projects including but not limited to regulatory developments, internal and external audits and legal issues. Most importantly, the committee seeks to ensure that all compliance objectives are advanced according to expectations and properly executed. In furthering organization-wide compliance, the Compliance Advisory Committee determines the scope of issues that warrant further review by the Committee of Departmental Directors and makes recommendations accordingly. The Compliance Officer, on behalf of the Compliance Advisory Committee, presents regular compliance reports to the Chief Executive Officer of Choices Women’s Medical Center and Vice President of Comprehensive Women’s Medical Care, P.C. and the Compliance Advisory Committee. The Compliance Officer also makes reports directly to the Committee of Departmental Directors from time to time.

Choices Women’s Medical Center Compliance Program has a dedicated team that is responsible for internal monitoring and auditing of documentation, coding, and billing patterns across Choices Women’s Medical Center physician offices and facilities. Coding Assurance audits focus on ensuring that all applicable state and federal laws and regulations are being followed; that underpayments and overpayments are identified early; payments are refunded appropriately when needed; and action plans are developed to mitigate against further occurrences. Additionally, each year the Compliance Advisory Committee develops and executes an internal audit plan derived from the federal government’s annual OIG Annual Work Plan, internal issues of concern, and from various other issues within the healthcare industry. This audit plan is also utilized as an internal risk assessment tool.

CWMC Compliance Program provides initial orientation and continuing compliance education for all new and existing employees. In addition, all employees are required to complete annual compliance training. The Compliance Program utilizes in-person training. In-person training includes lunch and learns, attending staff meetings, and periodic rounding throughout Choices Women’s Medical Center. In addition, the Compliance Advisory Committee provides education and training when needed throughout Choices Women’s Medical Center. Education is also provided from outside healthcare consultants when applicable.

Choices Women’s Medical Center believes each of its employees has an individual responsibility and duty to report their good faith belief of any violation of this Code of Conduct, Choices Women’s Medical Center policies or applicable law to his or her immediate supervisor, Choices Women’s Medical Center Compliance Program, or the Compliance Hotline and encourages each employee to do so.

  1. Choices Women’s Medical Center operates a Compliance Hotline that reports may be made anonymously to the Compliance Hotline at (718) 349-9100 ext. 409 or if calling internally just dial extension x409. You can send an email to [email protected] that is available for anyone either inside or outside of our organization that may have a compliance concern available 24/7. It is Choices Women’s Medical Center policy to not discriminate or retaliate against employees who report, based on a good faith belief that Choices Women’s Medical Center is not operating in accordance with applicable federal and state laws and regulations.

Employee actions which violate Choices Women’s Medical Center Employee Conduct Policy or Employee Handbook can result in counseling reports or dismissal. Please refer to that policy for examples of improper employee conduct.

Choices Women’s Medical Center Code of Conduct is shared with all employees from inception of employment and is repeated with annual compliance training, which is incorporated into the employee’s annual review and must be completed by all employees. Each employee must acknowledge in writing that he/she received a copy of this Code of Conduct, understands it, and commits to honor it. This acknowledgement is maintained in the employee’s personnel file in the Human Resources Department.

Choices Women’s Medical Center provides a copy of this Code of Conduct to Vendors and Contractors as a condition of conducting business. Like Choices Women’s Medical Center employees, Vendors, and Contractors must acknowledge in writing that they received a copy the Code of Conduct, understand it, and commit to honor it.

Health Care Proxy

The New York Health Care Proxy Law allows you to appoint someone you trust — for example, a family member or close friend – to make health care decisions for you if you lose the ability to make decisions yourself. By appointing a health care agent, you can make sure that health care providers follow your wishes. Your agent can also decide how your wishes apply as your medical condition changes. Hospitals, doctors & other health care providers must follow your agent’s decisions as if they were your own. You may give the person you select as your health care agent as little or as much authority as you want. You may allow your agent to make all health care decisions or only certain ones. You may also give your agent instructions that he or she has to follow. This form can also be used to document your wishes or instructions with regard to organ and/or tissue donation.

Health Care Proxy Frequently Asked Questions

  1. If you become unable, even temporarily, to make health care decisions, someone else must decide for you. Health care providers often look to family members for guidance. Family members may express what they think your wishes are related to a particular treatment. However, in New York State, only a health care agent you appoint has the legal authority to make treatment decisions if you are unable to decide for yourself. Appointing an agent lets you control your medical treatment by:

    • allowing your agent to make health care decisions on your behalf as you would want them decided
    • choosing one person to make health care decisions because you think that person would make the best decisions
    • choosing one person to avoid conflict or confusion among family members and/or significant others.

    You may also appoint an alternate agent to takeover if your first choice cannot make decisions for you.

Anyone 18 years of age or older can be a healthcare agent. The person you are appointing as your agent or your alternate agent cannot sign as a witness on your Health Care Proxy form.

All competent adults, 18 years of age or older, can appoint a health care agent by signing a form called a Health Care Proxy. You don’t need a lawyer or a notary, just two adult witnesses. Your agent cannot sign as a witness. You can use the form printed here, but you don’t have to use this form.

Your health care agent would begin to make health care decisions after your doctor decides that you are not able to make your own health care decisions. As long as you are able to make healthcare decisions for yourself, you will have the right to do so.

Unless you limit your health care agent’s authority, your agent will be able to make any health care decision that you could have made if you were able to decide for yourself. Your agent can agree that you should receive treatment, choose among different treatments &decide that treatments should not be provided, in accordance\with your wishes & interests. However, your agent can only make decisions about artificial nutrition & hydration (nourishment & water provided by feeding tube or intravenous line) if he or she knows your wishes from what you have said or what you have written. The Health Care Proxy form does not give your agent the power to make non- health care decisions for you, such as financial decisions.

Appointing a health care agent is a good idea even though you are not elderly or terminally ill. A health care agent can act on your behalf if you become even temporarily unable to make your own health care decisions (such as might occur if you are under general anesthesia or have become comatose because of an accident). When you again become able to make your own health care decisions, your health care agent will no longer be authorized to act.

Your agent must follow your wishes, as well as your moral & religious beliefs. You may write instructions on your Health Care Proxy form or simply discuss them with your agent.

Having an open & frank discussion about your wishes with your health care agent will put him or her in a better position to serve your interests. If your agent does not know your wishes or beliefs, your agent is legally required to act in your best interest. Because this is a major responsibility for the person you appoint as your health care agent, you should have a discussion with the person about what types of treatments you would or would not want under different types of circumstances, such as: 

  • Whether you would want life support initiated/continued/removed if you are in a permanent coma
  • Whether you would want treatments initiated/continued/removed if you have a terminal illness
  • Whether you would want artificial nutrition & hydration initiated/withheld or continued or withdrawn & under what types of circumstances

No. Your agent is obligated to make decisions based on your wishes. If you clearly expressed particular wishes, or gave particular treatment instructions, your agent has a duty to follow those wishes or instructions unless he or she has a good faith basis for believing that your wishes changed or do not apply to the circumstances.

All hospitals, nursing homes, doctors & other health care providers are legally required to provide your health care agent with the same information that would be provided to you & to honor the decisions by your agent as if they were made by you. If a hospital or nursing home objects to some treatment options (such as removing certain treatment) they must tell you or your agent BEFORE or upon admission, if reasonably possible.

You may appoint an alternate agent to decide for you if your health care agent is unavailable, unable or unwilling to act when decisions must be made. Otherwise, health care providers will make healthcare decisions for you that follow instructions you gave while you were still able to do so. Any instructions that you write on your Health Care Proxy form will guide health care providers under these circumstances.

It is easy to cancel your Health Care Proxy, to change the person you have chosen as your healthcare agent or to change any instructions or limitations you have included on the form. Simply fill out a new form. In addition, you may indicate that your Health Care Proxy expires on a specified date or if certain events occur. Otherwise, the Health Care Proxy will be valid indefinitely. If you choose your spouse as your health care agent or as your alternate, & you get divorced or legally separated, the appointment is automatically cancelled. However, if you would like your former spouse to remain your agent, you may note this on your current form & date it or complete a new form naming your former spouse.

No. Your health care agent will not be liable for health care decisions made in good faith on your behalf. Also, he or she cannot be held liable for costs of your care, just because he or she is your agent. Is a Health Care Proxy the same as a living will? No. A living will is a document that provides specific instructions about health care decisions. You may put such instructions on your HealthCare Proxy form. The Health Care Proxy allows you to choose someone you trust to make healthcare decisions on your behalf. Unlike a living will, a Health Care Proxy does not require that you know in advance all the decisions that may arise. Instead, your health care agent can interpret your wishes as medical circumstances change & can make decisions you could not have known would have to be made.

Give a copy to your agent, your doctor, your attorney and any other family members or close friends you want. Keep a copy in your wallet, purse or with other important papers, but not in a location where no one can access it, like a safe deposit box. Bring a copy if you are admitted to the hospital, even for minor surgery, or if you undergo outpatient surgery.

Yes. Use the optional organ & tissue donation section on the Health Care Proxy form & be sure to have the section witnessed by two people. You may specify that your organs and/or tissues be used for transplantation, research, or educational purposes. Any limitation(s) associated with your wishes should be noted in this section of the proxy. Failure to include your wishes &instructions on your Health Care Proxy form will not be taken to mean that you do not want to be an organ and/or tissue donor.

No. The power of a health care agent to make health care decisions on your behalf ends upon your death. Noting your wishes on your HealthCare Proxy form allows you to clearly state your wishes about organ & tissue donation Who can consent to a donation if I choose not to state my wishes at this time? It is important to note your wishes about organ and/or tissue donation so that family members who will be approached about donation are aware of your wishes. However, New York Law provides a list of individuals who are authorized to consent to organ and/or tissue donation on your behalf. They are listed in order of priority: your spouse, a son or daughter 18 years of age or older, either of your parents, a brother or sister 18 years of age or older, a guardian appointed by a court prior to the donor’s death, or any other legally authorized person.
