Impartiality is considered very important by Beyond Compliance members to ensure the integrity of the work we do. The surgeon members of the Beyond Compliance Advisory Group are not salaried employees and freely volunteer their time. The only payment they receive is reimbursement for travel expenses and subsistence.
