ARTICLE 4

ANNUAL RISK ASSESSMENT AND COMPLIANCE WORK PLAN

4.1 Development of Risk Assessment and Compliance Work Plan. The Compliance Officer is responsible for developing an annual risk assessment for Anodyne. The objective of the annual risk assessment is to identify and prioritize actual or potential areas presenting compliance concerns and to recommend measures to address such concerns. Taking the results of the annual risk assessment into consideration, the Compliance Officer shall develop an annual compliance work plan, which shall include requirements for auditing and monitoring of, and training on, areas identified as high risk.

4.2 Risk Areas. The annual risk assessment shall include a review of actual or potential risk areas identified: through internal or external audits; in the OIG's annual Work Plan, Fraud Alerts or other published compliance guidance; or otherwise by the Compliance Officer. The list of risk areas below is a compilation of potential risk areas that may be subject to the annual risk assessment, as determined to be appropriate by the Compliance Officer. This list is not meant to be exhaustive, and other areas of risk may be identified and assessed as deemed necessary by the Compliance Officer or the Manager:

(a) The Federal Anti Kickback Statute. This risk area includes the exchange (or offer to exchange) of anything of value, in an effort to induce (or reward) the referral of items or services for which payment may be made, in whole or in part, under a federal health care program. This risk area may be implicated by relationships with both physicians and beneficiaries. For example, this risk area may be implicated if Anodyne offers or provides gifts, free services, or other incentives or things of value to patients, relatives of patients, physicians, podiatrists, or other potential referral sources for the purpose of inducing referrals. This risk area may also be implicated if Anodyne offers to pay a referral source more than fair market value for space rented to store items or supplies.

(b) Medicare Approval. This risk area includes the distribution or sale of diabetic shoes or inserts that do not meet the Medicare Quality Standards or inserts that have not obtained coding verification from the Pricing, Data Analysis and Coding ("PDAC").

(c) False Claims Act. This risk area includes promoting the submission of false claims to Medicare. For example, this risk area may be implicated if Anodyne falsely promotes a product that does not comply with Medicare standards, or if Anodyne violates that federal anti-kickback statute, thus causing false claims to be made.

(d) Exclusion Screening. This risk area includes: (i) the hiring or continued employment of individuals excluded from participation in the federal health care programs; or (ii) contracting with an individual or entity excluded from participation in the federal health care programs.

(e) Physician Sunshine Act. This risk area involves failing to report transfers of value to physicians, to the extent required to report such transfers by the Physician Sunshine Act.

(f) Marketing and Sales. This risk area involves marketing in a manner that is not honest, not straightforward, less than fully informative and/or deceptive. This risk area also involves salespeople offering physicians, podiatrists and other referral sources incentives, in cash or in kind, for their referrals or business.

4.3 Resources. The Compliance Officer will have the full resources of Anodyne available to him or her in preparing the annual risk assessment and annual compliance work plan. If responsibility for any particular aspect of the annual risk assessment is delegated by the Compliance Officer, the designated party or parties will prepare and submit reports documenting the results of the annual risk assessment to the Compliance Officer. The results of the risk assessment may be verified by internal or external audits, consultants, or such other means as the Compliance Officer determines to be necessary and appropriate.

4.4 Reporting. The Compliance Officer shall provide a report of the annual risk assessment and annual compliance work plan to the Manager. This report shall identify actual or potential areas of concern, a description of current measures taken, and recommendations to address areas of concern. At a minimum, for areas identified as high risk, the annual compliance work plan shall include review or development of applicable policies and procedures and internal controls, requirements for training and education, and plans for auditing and monitoring.

4.5 Training on New Risk Areas. Whenever the Compliance Officer identifies a new risk area, the Compliance Officer will evaluate whether it is necessary to develop and distribute new education and/or training materials, in accordance with Article 6.

ARTICLE 5

AUDITING AND MONITORING

5.1 General. The Compliance Officer shall be responsible for ongoing monitoring and auditing. The Compliance Officer may utilize a variety of techniques to conduct monitoring, including periodic "spot checks." Monitoring and auditing activities may consist of on site visits, interviews (of current Employees or at an Employee's exit), review of written materials and documentation, trend analysis and questionnaires. Additionally, the Compliance Officer may arrange for periodic compliance audits by external auditors with expertise related to specific risk areas.

5.2 Annual Audit Plan. Audits and monitoring will generally reflect the areas of concern identified in the annual risk assessment. Based on the annual risk assessment, the Compliance Officer will develop an annual audit plan.

5.3 Periodic Audits. Periodic audits are designed to ensure ongoing claims processing accuracy and compliance with any new rule or regulation implemented since the most recent previous audit. Such audits shall also incorporate a review of whether the Compliance Materials have been adequately disseminated, whether appropriate training and educational programs have been conducted, whether appropriate records are being maintained, and whether disciplinary processes are working properly.

5.4 Response. The Compliance Officer will ensure that, in response to all audits, appropriate discipline plans or other corrective actions (e.g., adding new training and educational programs, or making changes to policies and procedures) are developed and fully implemented. If necessary, the Compliance Officer may arrange for a follow up audit or review of specific issues or practices to determine whether any recommended corrective actions have been implemented and have been successful. Any actions taken in response to an audit will be documented by the Compliance Officer or his or her designee.

5.5 Reporting. The Compliance Officer shall report regularly to the Manager regarding the implementation of the annual audit plan and the results of any other auditing and monitoring activities conducted during the prior year.

ARTICLE 6

EDUCATION, TRAINING AND ATTESTATION

6.1 Policy. It is the policy of Anodyne to provide appropriate training to Employees to permit them to have sufficient familiarity with the Code of Conduct specifically, and the Compliance Plan generally, so that they are aware of their ethical and legal obligations and act responsibly. The Compliance Officer will track and record individual attendance at all required training and educational sessions and completion of the compliance attestation form. Failure to complete required training or sign a compliance attestation form may result in disciplinary action, including potential termination of an individual's relationship with Anodyne.

6.2 General Training. All Employees are required to undergo compliance training. Employees must undergo such training as part of their orientation, at which time they will receive a copy of the Code of Conduct. Thereafter, Employees will have general compliance training at least annually. Compliance training may occur in various formats, including web based and face to face training.

All general compliance training will be reviewed and updated annually. Specifically, the Compliance Officer will revise the compliance training program to address changes in external requirements (e.g., federal health care program requirements, OIG guidance, or other agency guidance) as well as internal activities (e.g., identified risk areas, results from audits, investigations, previous training and education program feedback, or trends in compliance reports).

6.3 Compliance Attestation Form. Upon orientation, or completion of annual compliance training, Employees are required to sign a compliance attestation form certifying that he or she: (a) has read the Code of Conduct; (b) will comply with the Code of Conduct, including the duty to report noncompliance with same; (c) has completed the requisite compliance training or education sessions regarding the Compliance Materials; (d) is not aware of any unreported noncompliance, violations, or any other issues or concerns related to compliance; and (e) understands that he or she may be subject to discipline for failure to abide by the Code of Conduct.

6.4 Specialized Training. In addition to general corporate compliance training, the Compliance Officer will work to identify and evaluate the need for specialized training, and to facilitate and document such training. When such training is provided, the Compliance Officer will annually evaluate the appropriateness of the training and make revisions to the training as necessary. The Compliance Officer will also track and record attendance at specialized training.

6.5 Communication of Changes to Code of Conduct. The Compliance Officer will distribute in writing and/or post in conspicuous places, any material modifications of, or amendments to, the Code of Conduct. The Compliance Officer will also communicate to affected parties any substantial changes to the Compliance Plan.

6.6 Other Compliance Communication Efforts. The Compliance Officers may, as necessary, provide periodic information about the Compliance Program as well as changes in applicable laws or ethical standards that may affect the responsibilities of Employees through written memoranda, newsletters, periodic training sessions or other appropriate forms of communication, including the posting of such information.

ARTICLE 7

REPORTING, RESPONSE AND PREVENTION

7.1 Obligation to Report Suspected or Actual Noncompliance. In accordance with the Code of Conduct, all Employees are expected and required to report any suspected or actual noncompliance.

7.2 Anonymity. To the extent possible, all compliance related reports will be handled in a manner that protects the confidentiality of the reporting individual if he or she so requests. However, there may be circumstances in which confidentiality cannot be maintained. Some examples of this include situations where the problem is known only to very few people or situations in which the government or another payor or funding source is involved. In such cases, Anodyne may be required to provide the name of the individual who first brought the problem to the attention of the organization.

7.3 Nonretaliation Policy. It is the policy of Anodyne to ensure that individuals who make a report in good faith do not suffer any retaliation for doing so. The Compliance Officer will explain Anodyne's nonretaliation policy to each caller or reporter and give the reporter a means for contacting them confidentially to report any actions the reporter believes are retaliatory. The Compliance Officer will ensure that any report of retaliation is appropriately investigated.

7.4 Reporting Mechanisms. Employees or Outside Parties may report compliance concerns directly to the Compliance Officer in a face-to-face meeting, via telephone, through the use of voicemail or via e-mail. Employees or Outside Parties may also write a confidential letter to the Compliance Officer.

7.5 Investigation. Upon receiving a report of actual or suspected noncompliance, the Compliance Officer will initiate prompt steps to ensure the conduct in question is investigated (including, as appropriate, involving outside legal counsel) to determine whether noncompliance has occurred. Investigations may involve, without limitation: (a) interviewing individuals with potential knowledge of the matter; and/or (b) conducting a review of relevant documents.

7.6 Response. In the event the investigation identifies actual or suspected noncompliance, Anodyne may undertake one or more of the following actions, as appropriate:

(a) Immediately ceasing any actual noncompliance;

(b) Consulting with legal counsel to determine whether voluntary reporting of the actual or suspected noncompliance to the appropriate governmental authority is warranted;

(d) Initiating disciplinary action, as appropriate;

(e) Promptly undertaking appropriate training and education to prevent a recurrence of the actual or suspected noncompliance;

(f) Conducting a review of the Compliance Materials and/or applicable policies and procedures to determine whether revisions of the current Compliance Materials and/or applicable policies or procedures, or the development of new policies and/or procedures, are needed to minimize future risk of actual or suspected noncompliance; and/or

(g) Conducting, as appropriate, follow up monitoring or auditing to ensure effective resolution of the actual or suspected noncompliance.

ARTICLE 8

ENFORCEMENT AND DISCIPLINE

8.1 Enforcement of Compliance Plan and Code of Conduct. Adherence to the Compliance Program, Compliance Materials, and Anodyne policies and procedures is central to the duties of every Employee. Anodyne will take prompt action to address noncompliance with the Compliance Program, Compliance Materials, Anodyne policies and procedures, or applicable laws or regulations, or the failure to appropriately report noncompliance. Such action may include counseling or additional training and education, but also may include disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment, the applicable business relationship or contract, or affiliation (as described in Section 8.3). The following are examples of conduct that may result in disciplinary action:

(a) The failure to perform any required obligation relating to compliance with the Compliance Program or the Compliance Materials;

(b) The failure to report suspected violations of the Compliance Program, the Compliance Materials, Anodyne policies or procedures, or applicable laws and regulations; or

8.2 Reporting Violation of Laws. Anodyne shall report compliance violations to the appropriate governmental authority when required to do so. The Compliance Officer shall develop a process to ensure that such reports are made timely.

8.3 Compliance as an Element of Job Performance. Employees (including the Manager and the Compliance Officer) will be subject to discipline, in accordance with applicable policies, for failing to comply with the Compliance Program, the Code of Conduct, Anodyne policies or procedures, or applicable laws and regulations. Discipline may include reprimand, suspension, termination or severance of their relationship with Anodyne. Adherence to, and support of, the Code of Conduct will be considered in decisions regarding hiring, promotion, performance review and compensation for all Employees, as well as for prospective Employees.

ARTICLE 9

REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF COMPLIANCE MATERIALS

9.1 Code of Conduct. At least annually, the Compliance Officer shall review the Code of Conduct and revise it as necessary due to changing laws and regulations or Anodyne's operations. The Manager must approve any revisions to the Code of Conduct. If substantive revisions to the Code of Conduct are made, the new Code of Conduct will be distributed to all Employees and Outside Parties as soon as practicable.

9.2 Compliance Plan. The Compliance Officer shall review the contents of the Compliance Plan annually and revise it as necessary due to changing laws and regulations or Anodyne's operations. The Manager must approve any revisions to the Compliance Plan. While Anodyne will generally attempt to communicate revisions prior to implementation, Anodyne may change the Compliance Plan without providing prior notice to affected parties. The Compliance Officer shall ensure that material changes to the Compliance Plan are communicated to all affected parties as soon as possible after the change.

ARTICLE 10

CONCLUSION

The Compliance Plan has been prepared to outline the broad principles of legal and ethical business conduct embraced by Anodyne. It is not a complete list of legal or ethical questions you might face in the course of business. Therefore, this plan must be used together with your common sense and good judgment.

If you are in doubt or have a specific question, you should contact the Compliance Officer.

APPENDIX A

ANODYNE, LLC

CODE OF CONDUCT

Anodyne, LLC ("Anodyne") is dedicated and committed to meeting high ethical standards and complying with all applicable laws in all activities regarding the provision of diabetic shoes and/or inserts. To ensure Anodyne achieves this operating goal, it has established a Corporate Compliance Program, as outlined in a Compliance Plan ("Compliance Plan"), designed to create and foster an organizational culture encouraging open communication regarding compliance issues, without fear of retaliation, which is embraced by every Anodyne employee and/or vendor who furnishes services or provides items to Anodyne (in this Code of Conduct, each such person is referred to as "you" or "your").

In addition to Anodyne's general policies and procedures and the Employee Handbook, this Code of Conduct summarizes the standards of behavior expected of you. To the extent that all individuals associated with Anodyne act responsibly, Anodyne's reputation as an ethical and lawful organization will be protected. Acting responsibly means that, at all times, you will: (1) perform your duties in a manner that upholds and complies with the principles set forth in this Code of Conduct, the Compliance Plan and all Anodyne policies, procedures, guidelines and instructions; (2) ensure your conduct meets the requirements of all relevant federal, state, and local laws and regulations; (3) take responsibility for your behavior (including both acts and omissions); and (4) immediately report anything that you believe to be inconsistent with the principles of this Code of Conduct. You will be notified of any material changes to this Code of Conduct.

No set of policies can substitute for good judgment and common sense, nor can a single set of policies cover every difficult circumstance that arises. The complexity of the health care environment can sometimes make it difficult to recognize behavior or practices that may be illegal or improper. At Anodyne, maintaining a culture of compliance means, in part, that if you have a question about something, if you are uncertain as to what the right course of conduct is in any situation, or you observe any potential compliance issue, you are obligated to report this to Anodyne's Compliance Officer ("Compliance Officer"). It is the policy of Anodyne that no person will suffer any adverse effect on his or her job or career advancement as a result of raising an ethical or legal concern in good faith.

Compliance with this Code of Conduct is a condition of employment and a prerequisite for affiliation or doing business with Anodyne. Violations of this Code of Conduct will be grounds for discipline, up to and including immediate termination of your employment or affiliation with Anodyne. Consistent with its policies, Anodyne shall not engage in or permit any action of retaliation or reprisal to be taken against an employee who, in good faith, reports suspected and/or actual misconduct.

PRINCIPLE 1. Legal and Ethical Conduct. You are required, as a condition of your employment or affiliation with Anodyne, to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, standards and other requirements imposed on our business by any level of government or certifying agency. Without limiting the generality of that statement, you must follow and satisfy all requirements of the federal and state laws and regulations. In particular, you shall ensure that you do not make any statements or create any documentation that is false, fraudulent, inaccurate or fictitious in connection with Anodyne. Anodyne will not tolerate any falsification of any records. Similarly, Anodyne will not pursue any business opportunity that requires engaging in unethical or illegal activity.

Anodyne and its personnel shall engage in fair, honest, respectful, dignified and ethical relationships among and outside Anodyne. You must be honest in doing your job or fulfilling your duties, and maintain the highest ethical professional standards, judgment and objectivity. In particular, Anodyne seeks positive relationships with health care providers and government programs. Positive relationships require ongoing communication. In very practical terms, this means you must perform you duties in a way that promotes the public's trust in Anodyne—and you.

Your integrity is paramount, and it is everyone's collective responsibility to maintain Anodyne's institutional integrity and reputation. You must be honest and forthright in any representations made to health care providers, vendors, contractors, other employees or agents, and the community. You shall not use or reveal, for any personal or financial gain, any proprietary or confidential information concerning Anodyne.

PRINCIPLE 2: Conflicts of Interest. You should avoid situations that could result in a conflict of interest. You shall not have other jobs that interfere with your ability to perform your duties at Anodyne. Just as importantly, you must avoid any activity that conflicts with the interests of Anodyne, or that even creates the appearance of impropriety. In particular, promoting business with any entity with which you have a familial or other personal or business relationship may constitute a conflict of interest. You must make a disclosure in advance to the Compliance Officer and obtain written approval from the Manager prior to proceeding with the transaction. If you suspect that a conflict may exist or be created, then you should consult with or notify the Compliance Officer. Similarly, any issue you observe with respect to vendors and contractors shall immediately be reported to the Compliance Officer.

PRINCIPLE 3: Workplace Environment. Work rules were created to protect us all. Anodyne's personnel are expected to comply with Anodyne's rules and to immediately report violations of these policies to a supervisor or the Compliance Officer. In addition, all persons associated with Anodyne must respect each other as human beings. Anodyne's personnel shall show proper respect and consideration for each other, regardless of position or station. Discriminatory treatment, harassment, abuse or intimidation will not be tolerated. Anodyne is a drug free workplace in accordance with its policies. If you experience significant differences in professional judgment with another person, you should talk to a member of the management team and/or the Compliance Officer to resolve it.
