Corporate Compliance

Buena Vida Continuing Care and Rehabilitation Center will employ high ethical standards in conducting all of its professional and business activities. Buena Vida has established a comprehensive program to ensure that it complies with applicable Federal, State and Local laws and regulations including the requirements of Federal Health Care Programs (including Medicare and Medicaid).

It is our belief that this program will improve clinical outcomes for our residents and patients and create a better working environment for employees and staff. Buena Vida promotes a culture of commitment to the prevention, detection and resolution of situations that may not conform to applicable laws, rules and regulations, third party payer requirements and quality of care standards.

In order to protect against fraud and abuse, information is provided to Buena Vida employees and contractors regarding Buena Vida’s corporate compliance program and relevant compliance documents are provided discussing the provision of Federal and State false claims laws, as well as informing employees of legal protections against retaliation for “whistle blowing.”

To report any suspected violations, you may contact your Department Head, the Corporate Compliance Officer, the President or call the Compliance Hot Line (718 928-3365) and leave a detailed message.
