PAIGE PENNINGTON CHC

CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER

Paige was a founding member of Compliagent in 2012. She applies broad experience developing, implementing and auditing compliance programs for healthcare providers. Paige is well-versed in all aspects of regulatory issues integral to risk management for healthcare providers, including HIPAA/HITECH, Medicare conditions of payment and participation, state licensing requirements, the Stark Law, and the Anti-Kickback Statute. Sensitive to the practical challenges to achieving a well-run compliance program, Paige strives to develop strong partnerships with clients to increase overall employee engagement at every level of their organizations.

In addition to helping develop and implement compliance and risk management programs, Paige also conducts compliance effectiveness reviews for clients with mature compliance programs. Paige has also managed multiple engagements for clients subject to Corporate Integrity Agreements (CIA). Compliagent has both served as an Independent Review Organization (IRO) for CIA engagements and as independent consultants with primary responsibility for implementing new systems to comply with CIA requirements.

As a member of Compliagent’s executive team, Paige is involved in the firm’s overall strategic planning, and content and product development. She brings a pragmatic approach to the process as a result of her hands-on client work, ensuring that the firm’s services bring value to clients’ operations instead of being considered a burdensome government mandate.

Prior to being part of Compliagent’s start-up team in 2012, Paige was a paralegal with a Los Angeles based healthcare law firm. Her responsibilities included implementing compliance programs for long-term care providers as well as assisting with litigation, licensing, and administrative hearings and appeals.

Paige is a graduate of the University of Chicago and is certified in Healthcare Compliance (CHC) by the Compliance Certification Board (CCB). Paige is an active member of the California Association of Health Facilities (CAHF) and the Health Care Compliance Association (HCCA).

Paige, a self-professed foodie, loves trying new restaurants, shopping and binging the latest series on Netflix.
