The UCSF Clinical Enterprise Compliance Program's Website is a vital
part of our Systemwide Compliance Program. It has been designed to give
you the information and tools you need to properly document and bill for
patient care services.
UCSF is committed to the highest standards of ethics and integrity in
all aspects of health care delivery. Our Compliance Program has been developed
to help ensure that guidelines issued by payers (Medicare, Medi-Cal, etc.)
delineating requirements for billing in an academic medical center are
an integral part of the business practice of all faculty, house staff,
employees and billing agents. It is within this framework of integrity
and ethical behavior that our Compliance Program reiterates and clarifies
the policies concerning billing for the provision of professional patient
care services.
We welcome your feedback and we are available to help you or address
your compliance concerns. We have established a Confidential Compliance
Hotline (415) 502-8448 that you can call to raise any concerns you
may have.
Thank you for your ongoing support of UCSF's mission, its values and
its commitment to making the right choices. By working together, we will
continue to build upon UCSF's position as a leader in patient care, teaching,
research and community service.
