Clinical Research Coverage Analysis and Billing

Clinical research coverage analysis and billing are two of the most perplexing problems facing institutions, investigators, sponsors, and government agencies. A range of problems has resulted from the difficulties in determining which services are appropriate for reimbursement and documenting claims for those services, including costly governmental enforcement actions and millions of dollars being unbilled and uncollected.

This presentation will focus on the development and implementation of appropriate coverage analysis decision making and billing practices.
