WASHINGTON, June 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Musculoskeletal
Clinical Regulatory Advisers, LLC (MCRA), an independent medical
technology consulting firm focusing on regulatory, clinical,
intellectual property, quality assurance, healthcare compliance and
reimbursement strategy execution, is pleased to announce the launch
of its Compliance and Business Ethics Hotline. MCRA’s
Compliance Hotline is just one of the variety of services provided
by the Company’s Healthcare Compliance division that aims at
helping its clients maintain a corporate culture committed to
ethical behavior.
As defined by the United States Sentencing Commission and the
Department of Health & Human Service Office of Inspector
General, an effective compliance program includes a process to
receive complaints or questions anonymously. MCRA’s Compliance
Hotline allows employees, contractors, suppliers or other key
stakeholders of MCRA’s Healthcare Compliance clients to raise
issues which could adversely affect employees, customers or the
organization. The Hotline is a timely reporting option that
provides a confidential way for MCRA’s clients to obtain
information about compliance issues and report instances of
suspected non-compliance outside the normal chain of command. The
Hotline preserves confidentiality and assures non-retaliation.
MCRA’s Compliance Hotline is implemented via a secure, customized
web based reporting solution. Trained support staff manage the
Hotline and are available during normal business hours through a
provided toll free phone number.
Christopher Gingras, Vice President of Healthcare Compliance: “I
am pleased to see that MCRA is now offering the Compliance Hotline
service to its clients. The availability of a confidential
reporting system is an essential part of an effective compliance
program. The Hotline provides additional comfort to employees
seeking to do the right thing by raising an issue. “
