Our Team
Aaron Rubin J.D.
Chief Executive Officer
Director of Development
Aaron Rubin received his Juris Doctor from Seton Hall University School of Law. He completed judicial internships for the Honorable Garrett E. Brown, former United States Chief District Judge for the District Court of New Jersey, as well as for the Honorable William J. Martini, United States District Judge for the District of New Jersey. As an attorney, he focuses on counseling clients on all aspects of health care law. Aaron uses his experience to advise his clients about the proper structure for health care business arrangements, transactions, and joint ventures in order to ensure compliance with federal and state health care laws. His expertise helps clients navigate the myriad issues that healthcare entities must comply with, such as the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the False Claims Act, the physician self-referral statute (also known as “Stark” law), Medicare and Medicaid billing and reimbursement laws, HIPAA privacy and security rules, and medical device laws and regulations.
Aaron also routinely guides clients about compliance and operational matters, including the implementation of mandatory compliance programs under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, personally training individual compliance officers and compliance committees in regulatory and compliance related matters, risk management, governmental and third party billing and reimbursement, licensure and certification, survey and enforcement, physician employment and recruitment arrangements, and medical provider-vendor contracting. Additionally, as part of Compliance Consulting Group’s comprehensive compliance program, he personally and regularly interacts with both federal and state government regulators on behalf of his clients. This includes successfully completing compliance audits, thereby avoiding disciplinary actions and fines and saving clients valuable time and money.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is healthcare compliance?
Healthcare compliance is the ongoing process of ensuring that healthcare providers meet or exceed the legal, ethical, and professional rules and standards as set down by both the federal and state governments. Healthcare compliance covers numerous areas including, but not limited to, patient care, billing, reimbursement, provider contracting, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) Privacy and Security rules.
What is a compliance program?
A compliance program serves as preventive medicine for a healthcare provider. It is designed to ensure that providers keep up-to-date with all of the numerous laws, rulings, and regulations governing the healthcare industry.
A comprehensive compliance program gives providers effective processes, policies, and procedures to delineate appropriate conduct for all staff in all contexts, to train staff, and to then monitor the staff’s adherence to those processes, policies, and procedures. With planning, organization, and commitment, a compliance program can enable a provider to spot problems early on, which will then allow the provider to take corrective action thus avoiding disruptions in operations, as well as expensive government fines and penalties.
Does my entity need a compliance program?
Absolutely! The days of having a voluntary compliance plan are effectively over.
Sections 6102 and 6401 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) mandate that as of March 23, 2013, skilled nursing facilities (“SNF”), nursing facilities (“NF”), and other health care providers and suppliers must implement and adopt a compliance program as a condition of enrollment in Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance, and other government funded healthcare programs. Additionally, some states, such as New York State, also have their own state specific requirements with regard to compliance programs. Furthermore, the Office of Inspector General (“OIG”), as well as state agencies, continually stress to skilled nursing facilities the value of having a general “organizational culture that promotes compliance,” including, for example, a code of conduct, reward system, and effective communication tools. Thus, every healthcare provider should have already established and put in to place a healthcare compliance program.
What does CCG provide to our clients?
