The following on-site TCD programs have been created to meet the specific needs of your facility. We customize your program to assure you are in compliance with federal and state regulations.

COMPLIANCE PROGRAMS

AUDIT/SURVEY

On-site assessment of the compliance status of the internal operations of the healthcare facility including policies and procedures, coding and billing, medical records and physical plant.  The results of the audit/survey are presented in a written report that serves as a "road map" for developing your compliance program.

COMPLIANCE PLAN

Utilization of the survey report to develop a comprehensive compliance program designed to ensure that the organization and its employees comply with all applicable laws and regulations pertaining to its business activities.  This may also include implementation of the compliance program throughout all elements of the organization and annual evaluation of the compliance program.

CIA

Assist providers in meeting their compliance obligations under the terms of a Corporate Integrity Agreement (CIA) that is part of a settlement of federal health care program investigations.  We can help in adopting the specific measures required by the CIA by providing the necessary audits and submitting the required reports.

IRO

 Serve as an Independent Review Organization and address the duties and responsibilities required of an IRO under a Corporate Integrity Agreement (CIA), including evaluation of the compliance program and billing functions for compliance with the CIA.

HIPAA

Employee training that includes overview of HIPAA regulations and requirements, example scenarios and implementation checklists.  Along with the training manual, a compliance manual is provided that includes a HIPAA compliance plan, policies and procedures, forms, forms on disk and more.  Go to the Resources page to see information on purchasing the HIPAA manual.

HAZMAT

Employee training in the packaging of diagnostic specimens and infectious substances for transport.  The training addresses packaging,  labeling,  and security awareness.  A HAZMAT security plan is provided along with forms for the employer to document and certify the employee training.  Upon completion of training, TCD will administer tests to the students and provide the practice with the results.  The practice will receive a certificate of completion and each student will receive a certificate of training.
