To ensure the provision of quality health care services in compliance with these laws, Signature Advantage has developed a compliance program that provides guidelines and assigns responsibilities for controls and procedures that promote consistent and proper organizational behavior.

The Compliance Program has been developed to assist in establishing a culture within Signature Advantage that promotes the prevention, detection, and resolution of instances of conduct that do not conform to federal and state law and federal and state health care program requirements.

The Compliance Program describes our commitment to ethical business practices and behavior. Additionally, the Compliance Program provides the framework to assure that our employees, including officers, managers, volunteers, interns, Board of Directors, vendors (contractors, subcontractors), and first-tier, downstream, and related entities (FDRs) comply with the applicable legal and ethical standards of conduct, including our standards of conduct and requirements to prevent, detect, and mitigate fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA).[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

As a part of these contracts, CMS requires Signature Advantage to oversee our first tier, downstream, and related entities (FDRs) who provide health care or administrative services.

As an FDR for Signature Advantage, you are an important partner in the continued success of our Compliance program.

Medicare requires FDRs to participate in the Signature Advantage Compliance program, and we are committed to providing you with the tools needed to ensure you meet the obligations of this program. Our Standards of Conduct and other resources for reporting concerns or issues are available to you.

CMS requires our FDRs to complete Medicare FWA and general compliance training on an annual basis.

In accordance with CMS guidance, providers who have enrolled in Medicare Parts A or B or are accredited as Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) suppliers are deemed to have met the requirement for the FWA training and education. However, this does not exempt your organization from having to complete the general compliance training on an annual basis.

In order to ensure consistency and reduce the burden on providers, suppliers, contractors, and organizations, CMS has developed a web-based training module that can be used to satisfy the FWA and the general compliance training and education requirements.

FDRs must satisfy CMS’ general compliance and FWA training requirements. FDRs can complete the general compliance and/or FWA training modules available through the CMS Medicare Learning Network (MLN). Or, FDRs may download, view or print the content of the CMS standardized training modules from the CMS website to incorporate into their organization’s existing compliance training materials/systems. The CMS training content cannot be modified to ensure the integrity and completeness of the training.

Regardless of the training program used, Signature Advantage requires FDR agents to complete the FWA training within 90 days of contracting with Signature Advantage and annually thereafter.

Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions about whether your organization is required to complete FWA and general compliance training, or whether your organization’s internal training or third-party training is sufficient, please contact the Signature Advantage Compliance Officer at 1-833-742-6004. If you need assistance or have comments, please email compliance@signatureadvantageplan.com.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
