Code of Conduct

Our Code of Conduct provides guidance to all Allegiance Health Management, Inc. employees, including Minden Medical Center and its’ affiliates. The code assists us in carrying out our daily activities within appropriate ethical and legal standards. These obligations apply to our relationships with patients, affiliated physicians, third-party payors, subcontractors, independent contractors, vendors, consultants, and one another. The Code is a critical component of our overall Ethics and Compliance Program. We have developed the Code to ensure that we meet our ethical standards and comply with applicable laws and regulations. The Code is intended to be a statement that is comprehensive and easily understood. In some instances, the Code deals fully with the subject covered. In many cases, however, the subject discussed has so much complexity that additional guidance is necessary for those directly involved with the particular area to have sufficient direction. To provide additional guidance, we have developed a comprehensive set of compliance policies and procedures. Those policies expand upon or supplement many of the principles articulated in this Code of Conduct. Though we promote the concept of management autonomy at local facilities in order to meet local needs, the policies set forth in this Code are mandatory and must be followed.
