Healthcare Compliance Specialists

Our Healthcare Compliance Specialists are the professionals who maintain contact with assigned clients’ Compliance Officers and committees.  During monthly video conference calls audit topics and tools are reviewed, open fraud, waste and abuse compliance questions are answered, and the status of pending compliance actions are reviewed.  Med-Net Healthcare Compliance Specialists act as facilitators to ensure the Compliance Officer and committee members are properly navigating the federal and state rules and regulations covering fraud, waste and abuse incidents within the facility and with its employees. Compliance Officers are encouraged to contact their healthcare compliance specialist to discuss any compliance issues or to answer any compliance questions that arise in between monthly scheduled compliance committee meetings.
