The ideal candidate will be responsible for developing, implementing, and maintaining compliance programs that promote a culture of integrity and accountability. This role requires a deep understanding of healthcare regulations such as HIPAA, Stark Law, Anti-Kickback Statute, and other federal and state laws.
The Healthcare Compliance Officer will work closely with executive leadership, legal counsel, and department heads to identify potential areas of compliance vulnerability and risk. They will develop and implement corrective action plans for resolution of problematic issues and provide guidance on how to avoid or deal with similar situations in the future. The officer will also be responsible for conducting regular audits, training staff on compliance matters, and reporting to the board of directors or compliance committee.

This is a critical role in maintaining the trust of patients, regulators, and the public, and in protecting the organization from legal and financial penalties.
