Compliance Hotline
If you are not comfortable raising an issue in your department, or if you have raised a concern and feel that it has not been addressed, you can call the MSK Compliance Hotline. It provides a way for employees as well as vendors and contractors to report concerns about how MSK does business. You can report anonymously – without identifying yourself – when you make a report to the hotline.
The MSK Compliance Hotline is available 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and is managed by an outside company. You can submit a concern by calling 866-568-5421 or by going to mskcc.alertline.com/gcs/welcome.
If you make a report through the Compliance Hotline, you will be asked to call back in ten days for a status report. It’s important to remember to call back – especially if you did not give your name – because we may need more information in order to complete our review.
