OUR COMMITMENT
Harris Health recognizes that accurate documentation, coding, and billing is a critical component to providing quality healthcare and obtaining proper reimbursement. Therefore, Harris Health is committed to timely billing and coding that accurately reflects the services ordered and performed and is in accordance with all federal and state laws and regulations.
INFORMATION TO KNOW
It is a violation of the Federal False Claims Act and the Texas Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act to knowingly submit claims for payment with false or untrue information. Both the federal and state false claims acts include provisions to protect whistleblowers from retaliation for reporting. Harris Health also protects whistleblowers from retaliation for reporting false claims. For more information see the following Harris Health policies:
