** In July 2019, CMS proposed several changes that would affect the compliance and ethics section in the Requirements of Participation, including delaying implementation of this requirement for a year from the date the rule is finalized. AHCA recommends providers continue implementing the requirement because it is unknown if or when CMS will finalize the proposal. As of now, the regulations still require providers be in compliance as of November 28, 2019. AHCA will continue to closely monitor and notify members when any changes are finalized. **
As part of the Requirements of Participation (RoP) Phase 3, nursing centers must have a Compliance and Ethics Program that meets specified requirements. Starting November 28, 2019, CMS and state survey agencies will be authorized to issue survey deficiencies under federal Ftag F895 to centers that do not have an effective compliance program.
AHCA has created a webinar series and resources to support members in developing or adapting their existing program to meet this requirement. Although the interpretive guidelines have not yet been published (as of September 2019), the RoP Compliance and Ethics Program stems from the Office of Inspector General’s (OIG) long-standing guidance for the 7 elements of a compliance program. The numbering and titling of the specific elements within an effective Compliance and Ethics Program can be different, yet the content generally remains the same, with a few specific additions in the RoP. So even though CMS has not yet released guidance for the Compliance and Ethics Program, reviewing existing OIG resources will support a nursing center to develop an effective compliance program overall. This webinar series and the AHCA toolkit offers tools and distills the information into a webinar series to provide practical explanation and tips for how to create or update your compliance program.
This webinar series are presented by various compliance experts. It includes:
- Overview
- A different session on each of the 7 elements for an effective compliance program and how this fits in with the RoP Compliance and Ethics Program
- The Interdependence between Compliance, Ethics and Quality
- What Administrators and Compliance Liaisons Need to Know
