A Culture of Compliance

At MedData, Compliance not only plays an important aspect in our business, but is central to how we conduct ourselves. Our organizational compliance program formalizes the standards and values that we have always believed in and followed, is consistent with our Mission and Values, as well as our Guiding Principles. It is one of the reasons we enjoy a strong reputation for integrity, ethics, and values in the billing and data management arena. Not only do we follow meticulous compliance guidelines, we are also industry leaders in the shaping of compliance standards for Third Party Billing and Coding.

At MedData we realize that our actions determine our success or failure. Compliance is about what's right- not just what's required-and is about how we conduct our business. At MedData, we have always been committed to doing the right thing.

Compliance at MedData—Our History

Compliance does not touch one or two areas in today's healthcare organization, but rather every aspect of healthcare operations. At MedData we have always taken a conservative approach to our coding and billing activities, even before compliance became the buzzword in healthcare. Because of this philosophy, we are also industry leaders in the shaping of compliance standards. In 1996 the HealthCare Billing and Management Association appointed MedData's Founder, Dick Pugh, to their Committee for assisting the OIG in developing and drafting the Third-Party Medical Billing Company Compliance Guidelines that was eventually issued in November 1998. These guidelines serve as the cornerstone for our Compliance Program.
