Our Commitment to Regulatory Compliance
RMHP is committed to assisting all of our FDR business partners in meeting the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) regulatory requirements by providing convenient access to the required training materials. The requirements are described in the following regulations and guidelines:
CMS 42 CFR §422.503(b)(4)(vi)(A)
CMS 42 CFR §423.504(b)(4)(vi)(A)
Medicare Compliance Program Guidelines*

RMHP’s Compliance Plan assists our FDR partners in complying with state and federal law, including, without limitation, Federal Health Care Reform legislation enacted under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Therefore, all FDR partners should be familiar with and abide by the standards of conduct set forth in the plan.
RMHP’s Compliance Plan establishes the framework for compliance in all of our lines of business (including Medicare) in order to:
- Prevent violation of federal and state laws including healthcare fraud, waste, and abuse
- Ensure operations are unencumbered by regulatory restrictions, sanctions, or fines.
- Promote early and accurate detection, as well as prompt resolution in the event of a violation.
Fraud, Waste and Abuse
Fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA) rob the health care system of billions of dollars annually. Several federal laws help combat these problems and reduce costs that are due to FWA, including False Claims Act, portions of the Deficit Reduction Act, and HIPAA. These laws also help safeguard a patient's private information and protect individuals (whistleblowers) who report illegal activities of health care related entities (persons or companies). RMHP's Fraud, Waste, and Abuse training addresses:
- Written policies and procedures and Code of Conduct
- Medicare Compliance Officer and Compliance Committee
- Training and education
- Effective lines of communication
- Enforcement of disciplinary standards
- Auditing and monitoring
- Prompt and effective responses to detected offenses
