Ethical Standards and Code of Conduct

University Health Care Compliance Office and Compliance Hotline

The Compliance Office is available as a resource to all University Health Care employees. In addition, the Compliance Hotline is intended to supplement regular communication channels, such as talking with your supervisor, the Compliance Office, or Human Resources. In addition to questions regarding business conduct and ethical dilemmas, University Health Care employees may call the Compliance Hotline at 801-585-1593 with questions concerning:

• Billing/coding rules
• Medicare/Medicaid rules
• Patient privacy laws
• Relationships/conflicts of interest
• Government investigations
• Ethical/legal issues

When you call the Compliance Hotline (801-585-1593) we will keep your name confidential unless we are required to disclose your name for legal reasons. Calls may be made anonymously. The University prohibits retaliation against an individual who files a complaint, expresses a concern, or asks for advice about a compliance issue.
