Corporate Compliance is a management system which is designed to detect and prevent violations of the law, develop & maintain internal controls to promote adherence to federal, state and local laws, and to ensure employees demonstrate appropriate ethical conduct. Compliance is important to ensure that illegal activities do not divert Medicaid dollars that could otherwise be spent to safeguard the health and welfare of Medicaid beneficiaries.

Each year the Compliance Office receives a number of complaints that may not be within the scope of Compliance. Please still report your concern in efforts to error on the side of caution; as these complaints will be referred to the appropriate MCCMH Division for handling. The compliance staff will be happy to clarify any questions or concerns at the time of report.
Reports can be made multiple ways. If reporting anonymously, the compliance team requests that enough information is provided for an investigation to be thoroughly conducted (names, dates, suspected violation, etc).
