WASHINGTON, DC – The American Orthotic & Prosthetic Association (AOPA) is pleased to announce that AOPA and its members will be celebrating Healthcare Compliance & Ethics Week (HCEW) November 5-11, 2017. AOPA is providing resources for AOPA members, most of them at no cost, to facilitate their participation in the celebration during the week and leading up to it.
“This week-long focus on compliance and ethics is a great opportunity for AOPA members to have meaningful internal dialog. It’s a way to introduce and reinforce the strong compliance and ethics standards that so many AOPA Members already epitomize and that their employees are expected to meet,” says AOPA President Michael Oros, CPO, LPO, FAAOP.
AOPA’s website features a checklist, white papers, compliance articles, and customizable sample press releases, emails and newsletters. AOPA will be offering 3 webinars during HCEW, on Gift Giving ($99 for members), Compliance Plans (free), and Ethics and Professionalism during Residency (free). AOPA will share tips throughout the week, including live newsfeed from the Mastering Medicare: Essential Coding & Billing Techniques Seminar, taking place November 6-7 in Phoenix, AZ.
AOPA is offering low-cost products featuring the HCEW logo for companies to highlight their participation and provide giveaways for staff. AOPA also has a Celebrating Wall for companies to publicize their participation. AOPA’s resources, products, and Celebrating Wall are at bit.ly/aopaethics.
