Compliance

The administration of the 海角社区 is strongly committed to promoting and supporting employee compliance with all federal, state, and regional laws and regulations.

Institutional Compliance

The 海角社区 Institutional Compliance program is intended to provide all employees of 海角社区 with policies, procedures, informational resources, and links to training that promote law-abiding and ethical actions in all workplace conduct. This program is also designed to prevent, detect, and eliminate regulatory violations, fraud, and abuse if they should exist with the University system.

Employee Compliance

As a 海角社区 employee, you are expected to be familiar with the regulatory and ethical conduct responsibilities of your specific position within the 海角社区 system. You are expected to satisfy all training requirements related to your job responsibilities of a regulatory nature. Should you witness or become aware of unethical or illegal conduct, or actions of fraud or abuse, you are responsible to report such knowledge to your immediate supervisor, to a 海角社区 compliance officer, or to the 海角社区 chief compliance officer through direct contact or through the Compliance Hotline reporting system.

HIPAA Compliance

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and its implementing regulations apply to individuals and organizations meeting the HIPAA definition of 鈥淐overed Entities.鈥 These covered entities include group health plans, health care providers who conduct certain transactions electronically 鈥 including but not limited to transmissions of health care claims 鈥 health care payments, enrollment in a health plan and referral authorizations and health care clearinghouses. Although 海角社区 does not primarily or solely engage in any of these activities, some units within the University perform functions that bring them within the definition of a covered entity under HIPAA.

海角社区 performs both non-covered and covered entity functions to carry out its educational mission by providing health care in different contexts. HIPAA allows an entity that engages in limited HIPAA-covered functions, to designate itself as a hybrid entity. A hybrid entity is a single legal entity that performs both covered entity functions and non-covered entity functions. The HIPAA regulations and requirements only apply to the covered entity components.

海角社区 declares itself a hybrid entity and has designated the following 海角社区 units as Covered Entity Components:
