Hospitals: Rules and Regulations
Scam targeting U.S. Bank customers
DHS is aware of an organized impersonation scam that targets U.S. Bank customers. Impersonators are contacting customers by phone, posing as representatives from the U.S. Bank Fraud Department. They may claim issues with recently initiated wire transfers. The DHS DQA Provider Portal uses U.S. Bank for the payment of fees. Please be aware of this impersonation scam if you are paying fees through the DHS DQA Provider Portal.
Hospitals are required to follow certain rules and regulations. Find information about these regulations and compliance among hospitals and critical access hospitals in Wisconsin.
