TitleThe education and training of all employees is extremely important at UBMD, as they are probably the first and most important line of defense in a compliance program. Education is included as one of the seven essential elements of a compliance program as outlined by the Federal Sentencing Guidelines and Office of Inspector General guidelines. As such, they are an integral part of the UBMD Compliance Plan.
All new providers must complete New Provider Training. This is a one-session training class. It is also a good refresher for the not-so-new providers.
