Compliance

Our compliance program reflects Vanta Diagnostics’ commitment to ethical conduct, regulatory accountability, and doing the right thing in healthcare.
What is Compliance?

Understanding Compliance in Healthcare

Compliance means following a rule or request. In healthcare laboratory operations, when we talk about compliance, we refer to complying with the rules, regulations, policies, and laws created and enforced by, among others, federal and state Governments, Government Healthcare Programs, insurance programs, and any public or private payor.

Vanta Diagnostics employees, staff, contractors, and affiliated persons will fully comply with all laws and other compliance requirements promulgated by any level of Government and as may be relevant to the various health professions that order services and anyone, including the Company, that provides healthcare services.

We will not pursue or be involved in any business opportunity that comes with or requires unethical or illegal activity.

Compliance Program

A Comprehensive Compliance Framework

A Compliance Program has been established at Vanta Diagnostics to assist our organization in promoting our commitment to the highest legal and ethical standards. Compliance is part of all our jobs and depends on everyone’s participation for continued success.

OUR COMPLIANCE PROGRAM HAS THE COMMITMENT OF EVERYONE AT VANTA DIAGNOSTICS INCLUDING ITS OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT, PROFESSIONALS, EMPLOYEES, VENDORS, AND OTHERS ASSOCIATED WITH VANTA DIAGNOSTICS TO:

  • PROVIDE EDUCATION AND TOOLS REGARDING COMPLIANCE
  • CONDUCT PERIODIC INVESTIGATIONS

  • PROVIDE A PRO-ACTIVE APPROACH TO COMPLIANCE; THEREBY, HELPING THE ORGANIZATION MAINTAIN ITS COMMITMENT TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF COMPLIANCE AND ETHICAL STANDARDS.

Vanta Diagnostics’ Compliance Program includes the seven elements of an effective compliance program as defined by the U.S. Government: (1) written standards of conduct and policies and procedures that promote commitment to compliance; (2) a Compliance Officer(s) to oversee the program; (3) compliance education and training for all new hires, with annual training for staff; (4) processes to receive anonymous complaints and to allow complaints from staff without any fear of retaliation; (5) responding to allegations of improper activities and, when necessary, developing a corrective action plan; (6) auditing and monitoring to identify areas of potential risk; and (7) investigation and remediation of identified systemic problems and non-employment of sanctioned individuals.

Ethics go beyond what is circumscribed by laws and means to DO THE RIGHT THING.

Our Policy

Compliance Policy and Code of Ethics

Vanta Diagnostics has separate and stand-alone Policies in place to ensure compliance with Laws.

Vanta Diagnostics employees are expected to read, understand, acknowledge, and comply with all Company Policies, agreements, and procedures (collectively, “Policies”) whether the Policies are contained in or referenced in this Overview, the Code of Ethics, Handbook, Manual or any other policy, procedure, standard, directive or form or instrument.

As discussed in our company’s Code of Ethics, all employees are expected to adhere to the highest level of professional behavior, decorum, and ethics. In accordance with this charge, the Code of Ethics addresses common expectations regarding (and to facilitate unity among) our staff and the Practitioners that order our services and the Patients that benefit from our services and products. The Code of Ethics is also a statement of compliance with legal and regulatory guidelines all of which supports our Compliance Program.

The Code of Ethic’s guidelines govern all interactions with Practitioners, Patients, providers, customers, employees, Government agencies and their representatives and the public at large. Following the Code of Ethics is mandatory for all Vanta Diagnostics employees, staff, contractors, and affiliated persons. While the Code of Ethics provides a basic description of unacceptable conduct and expected performance it does not cover all behaviors that may occur in the workplace.

Failure to comply with the Code of Ethics or any Policies is a serious matter and can lead to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

There are many resources available to help an employee, staff, contractor or affiliated person to determine if there is a law, regulation, policy, procedure, standard or directive that would apply to a situation you are faced with, including, supervisors, Vanta Diagnostics’ Human Resources function, Vanta Diagnostics’ Management, the Chief Compliance Officer and through use of Vanta Diagnostics’ Compliance Email Address: compliance@vantadx.com and Compliance Hotline (833) 827-3804.
