Davita Code of Conduct 2013 - 27

Others form their opinion of DaVita based on our actions.
Let's give them only positive things to say!

We will not directly or indirectly give, offer, or promise anything of value to any government official
or employee, referral source, or other person or entity whether affiliated with a government or
private entity, with the corrupt intent to obtain or retain business, or secure an unfair business
advantage. Nor will we use third parties to perform activities that would be in violations of DaVita's
policies and procedures, applicable laws and regulations, or this Code.
Our business partners, vendors and third parties are also prohibited from giving, offering, or
promising anything of value to any individual in violation of the FCPA or other anti-corruption
and anti-bribery laws. All payments made on behalf of DaVita must include accurate, truthful and
complete written documentation regarding the payment and the purpose of the payment.
Conversely, we will not solicit or accept anything of value from any person or entity seeking,
entering into, or conducting a business transaction with DaVita that may compromise or appear to
compromise our business decisions.

3. Anti-Kickback laws
We conduct business dealings with referral sources (e.g., physicians and other healthcare providers)
in accordance with local laws and regulations. In the U.S., this means business dealings with referral
sources are at fair market value and negotiated at arm's length. DaVita's policy prohibits improperly
accepting, soliciting or providing kickbacks of any kind. A kickback is an improper payment, gift,
service, or item of value offered or received in return for increased business or patient referrals. We
are all responsible for complying with DaVita's Anti-kickback policies and all Anti-kickback laws
that apply to our business.

4. Marketing and Advertising Practices
We practice honest, straightforward and non-deceptive marketing techniques. Consistent with
laws and regulations, we may use marketing and advertising activities to educate the public,
increase awareness of our services and recruit teammates.
