compliance and are certified as a RHIA (Registered Health Information Administrator) or RHIT (Registered Health Information Technician) and have extensive knowledge of ICD-9-CM and CPT coding and least five years in coding at a hospital.

Compliance is pertaining to the adherence to laws and regulations that the company is subject. Raven Head Ranch did not follow this objective when they were writing checks approved by the same person and putting them in unapproved projects, for example the Volunteer Fire Department. The VFD had been receiving funds from misappropriate accounts for three years.

At that time, Steve said it was not required to attend the correctional officer academy, but it has since become a requirement to pass the academy. Based off some things Steve mentioned to me, corrections officers have one of the toughest jobs in the criminal justice system. Having to constantly work with inmates

Law Enforcement, what’s the first thing that pops in to your head? Is it the terrible image that is given to law enforcement by society?

Also being an officer there is always the possibility of becoming injured.
