Compliance Program Development


CMS officials have stated that Sponsors must have their Fraud, Waste and Abuse (FWA) plans in line with the recommendations and requirements set forth in Chapter 9 by January 1, 2007

The guidance mandates the inclusion of 8 elements in FWA compliance programs:

  1. Written policies and procedures
  2. Compliance officer and committee
  3. Training and education
  4. Effective lines of communication
  5. Enforcement of standards through known disciplinary guidelines
  6. Monitoring and auditing
  7. Corrective action
  8. Comprehensive plan with procedures to self-report potential fraud and misconduct

Polaris can help your company in each element of the FWA recommended compliance program.
