Humana’s Ethics Program
Humana is committed to maintaining high ethical standards in the conduct of
its business and expects the health care professionals, entities and vendors
with which it contracts to follow similar standards.
Humana's commitment includes detecting, preventing and correcting fraud,
waste and abuse and complying with all federal and state rules, laws and regulations.
The key to upholding those standards is through the daily decisions and actions
of each and every health care professional, entity and vendor.
Humana's ethics program includes internal and external requirements
related to all aspects of its business and legal entities. The program aims
to enable Humana associates, health care professionals, entities and vendors
to effectively identify and avoid foreseeable risks, promptly respond to new
legal or regulatory exposures, and achieve business objectives appropriately.
To present the organization's ethical standards in a clear, universally
appropriate format, Humana has created its Principles of Business Ethics: Compliance
and Fraud Prevention Guide, which can be found by clicking here http://www.humana.com/providers/tools/provider_tools/publications.asp.
The guide provides the resources and opportunities physician practices need
to get answers to questions such as:
- What is an ethical situation?
- How do I report suspected fraud, waste and abuse?
- What do I do when I believe that Humana's "Principles
of Business Ethics: Compliance and Fraud Prevention Guide" is not
being upheld?
