Compliance Steering Committee Approves Corrective Action for Billing Non-Compliance Policy

The Compliance Steering Committee approved a policy for Corrective Action for Billing Non-compliance. Whenever the conduct of any member of the faculty or staff is considered to be inconsistent with the University’s standards of conduct or standards of professional billing as defined in the University Billing Compliance Plan, a request for corrective action may be made. A request for corrective action will be in writing and will set forth the facts upon which it is based.

Corrective action may include one or more of the following actions:

  1. Issuance of a written warning or a letter of reprimand;
  2. Requirement for training or inservice education (which may be at the individual’s expense);
  3. Imposition of terms of probation;
  4. A recommendation of the restriction, suspension or termination of appointment.

Requests for corrective action will be directed to the Director for Billing Compliance. The Director will review the requests and supporting documentation, and if appropriate, forward the request to the Senior Associate Dean for approval and implementation.

Any corrective action will be taken in accordance with University statutes and policies.
