Confidentiality & Compliance Notice

The Chinese Community Health Plan (CCHP) Standards of Conduct state the overarching principles and values by which CCHP operates, and define the underlying framework for CCHP’s compliance policies and procedures. They set forth standards and expectations by which all employees, consultants/contractors, members of CCHP’s governing board, and CCHP’s first-tier, downstream, or related entities (FDRs) conduct themselves in an ethical manner; that issues of actual or potential fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA), and issues of noncompliance are reported through appropriate mechanisms; and that those reported issues will be earnestly addressed and corrected.

As a Covered Entity (CE), CCHP and its workforce, First-Tier, Downstream, and Related Entities (FDRs), and its Board of Trustees must abide by applicable Privacy and Security Laws, including subsequent modifications to HIPAA Regulations, i.e., the HITECH Act and the Omnibus Final Rule.

To report actual or potential HIPAA breaches to CCHP, please call our Compliance Hotline at 1-415-955-8810 and/or email our Compliance Department at C[email protected], or contact the Chief Compliance Officer at [email protected].
