Compliance Hotline

Consistent with the OIG’s Compliance Guidance, HCN’s Compliance Hotline is a confidential reporting mechanism that enables employees, volunteers, and others to voice concerns related to potential fraud and abuse. In the event of a call or other communication to the Compliance Hotline, HCN provides a report to the hospice for follow-up. Quarterly reports are provided as well.

​

The Compliance Hotline:

• Is available to all HCN member hospices

• Consists of a toll-free number, email address, and mailing address that HCN members can use as their own internal reporting hotline

• Provides anonymity and confidentiality, if requested

• Includes materials necessary to promote the availability of the hotline service to the HCN member’s staff, volunteers, patients
