HMA Compliance Program

Compliance Program Overview

HMA’s mission is to provide quality, cost-effective healthcare in a positive and productive work environment. In fulfilling this mission, the corporation is dedicated to adhering to the highest ethical standards, and, accordingly, recognizes the importance of compliance with all applicable state and federal laws. Reflecting this dedication, HMA has developed and implemented a Corporate Compliance and Ethics Program.

The Corporate Compliance and Ethics Program is designed to ensure (i) that HMA employees are generally familiar with the laws, rules, and regulations that govern their specific employment responsibilities, (ii) that HMA employees always have a way to report concerns about inappropriate conduct, and (iii) that HMA employees become an integral part of ensuring compliance throughout all of HMA’s business operations.

All HMA employees shall receive training and education on the Corporate Compliance and Ethics Program and shall be required to certify their acceptance of the requirements set forth in the Compliance Manual. The success of the Corporate Compliance and Ethics Program and the success of HMA’s mission to continue to provide quality, cost-effective healthcare in a positive and productive work environment depends greatly on the dedication and efforts of each and every HMA employee.
