Deficit Reduction Act of 2005

A primary element of our Code of Conduct is billing and coding compliance.  We have in place policies, procedures and systems to facilitate accurate billing to government payers, commercial insurance payers, and patients.  These policies, procedures, and systems conform to pertinent Federal and state laws and regulations. We prohibit any colleague or agent of HCA-OU MEDICAL CENTER from knowingly presenting or causing to be presented claims for payment or approval which are false, fictitious, or fraudulent.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 requires all Medicaid recipient entities (OU MEDICAL CENTER) to develop and distribute policies, such as this one, outlining federal and state false claims acts, as well as information regarding whistleblower protections and the entities’ policies to reduce fraud and abuse.
