Third Party Code of Ethical Business Conduct and Compliance
CareFirst is committed to conducting business with integrity and in full compliance with all federal, state and local laws and regulations that govern our business activities. Our FDRs play an integral role in helping to meet these commitments.
CareFirst has adopted the Third Party Code of Ethical Business Conduct & Compliance to which all our FDRs must adhere while they are conducting business with and/or on behalf of CareFirst. FDRs are responsible for ensuring that their employees and subcontractors, including any contingent workers, understand and adhere to our code.
CareFirst expects that FDRs will:
- Effectively communicate the Code’s standards and training requirements to their employees and subcontractors, as applicable
- Exercise appropriate supervision and oversight of their employees and subcontractors to make sure that any work performed for CareFirst is consistent with our Code’s standards
- Ensure that their employees and subcontractors adhere to all laws, rules and government regulations applicable to the FDR’s business and the products or services it provides to CareFirst
The Code establishes minimum standards for conducting business with CareFirst. CareFirst has zero tolerance for unethical, non-compliant and criminal conduct. The Third Party Code of Ethical Business Conduct & Compliance should guide you in making good ethical decisions and complying with applicable federal, state, local laws and applicable government healthcare program requirements.
