About Us

Corporate Compliance

Baptist Health and its subsidiaries have a long-standing reputation for providing quality patient care, conducting ethical business practices and adhering to all state and federal rules and regulations. In addition, the government has issued guidelines for healthcare providers to use in preventing, identifying and correcting any potential fraud and abuse. Baptist Health has developed a system-wide compliance program (click here for the Compliance Plan) to meet the government's requirements and has appointed a Compliance Officer who is responsible for follow up on any concerns reported.

You may direct questions, comments or concerns to the Compliance Department through one of the following means:

• Send a letter to the Compliance Department, Baptist Health, 9601 Interstate 630, Exit 7, Little Rock, AR 72205.
• Call Baptist Health's toll-free, confidential Compliance Line at 1-800-991-0888.
• Email the Compliance Officer
• Contact the Corporate Compliance Officer, Kathy Roberts, at 501-202-1323.
  

A Corporate Compliance Committee, which is comprised of representatives from throughout Baptist Health, provides advice and assistance to the Compliance Officer.
