Compliance Questions

What is it?

Compliance questions allow an organization to, essentially, create a compliance checklist for a contract.

• The standard compliance questions are:

  • Does the vendor agree to accreditation standards?

  • Does the contract contain anti-kickback language?

  • Does this contract contain the BAA language?

  • Does this contract require a BAA (Business Associate Agreement)?

  • Does this vendor provide clinical services to our patients?

  • Does the contract comply with all STARK II/III requirements?

  • Does this contract require or contain a COI?

  • Has the Vendor been excluded or debarred from any federally-funded program?

  • Has the appropriate language/attachment for the exclusion been included?

  • Is this contract with a physician or physician group?

  • Is a fair market valuation attached?

• Compliance tab questions and answers are not reportable. However, compliance questions that are custom fields are reportable.

• An Admin for your organization can ask their symplr Contract representative to toggle OFF the Compliance tab in the Contract Library, so the tab will not be visible in the UI.

Who can do this?

• Admins, Editors, and Contract Moderators can see the Compliance tab.

• Admins and Editors can answer and update answers to compliance questions.

Where can you do this?

• Compliance questions can be answered under the Compliance tab on the contract summary page.

• Compliance questions and answers can be viewed under the Compliance tab on the contract summary page.

Modifying Compliance Questions

Compliance questions cannot be modified. Here’s are the steps your organization can take:

1. An Admin for your organization can ask their symplr Contract representative to toggle OFF the compliance tab in the Contract Library, so the tab will not be visible in the UI.

2. Admins can add compliance questions as custom fields.

3. Using the form template builder, Admins can create as many different compliance forms as needed, and then add them to applicable workflows.

   • The compliance questions and answers will be displayed in the All Fields tab on the contract summary page.

   • Because they’re custom fields, the compliance questions will be reportable.
