The OSF Compliance Program enables us to demonstrate to our Mission Partners, patients and the communities we serve that OSF HealthCare is committed to integrity, quality and safety in the health care services we provide.
The OSF HealthCare Compliance Program is a system of policies and procedures developed to help board members, officers, managers, Mission Partners, volunteers, employed and affiliated physicians and other providers, third-party payers, subcontractors, independent contractors, vendors, consultants and affiliated entities understand and follow the federal and state laws that govern health care. It is also designed to help our Mission Partners meet the requirements of federal, state and private health care plans.

Another essential element of an effective Compliance Program is a comprehensive Compliance Audit Program. The Ministry Compliance Team develops a Compliance Audit Plan each year to make sure that our patient care, reimbursement and other processes and procedures comply with the federal and state laws and regulations.
The annual Compliance Audit Plan outlines the specific audits that will be completed by the Ministry Compliance Audit Team in the following areas –
