Frequently Asked Questions

How do we ensure clinical study billing information is shared across the Enterprise?

Clinical research billing communications start and end with the study team. Clinical study billing errors usually occur because communication between the components of a research enterprise has broken down. Clinical research billing depends on accurate information being communicated from the study documents to the people reviewing, directing, and managing charges for clinical research-related services. Key financial information about the study must be shared

• among the study team (Principal Investigator, Clinical Study Coordinator),
• and Noridian when seeking device study approval,
• and Coverage Analysis/Budget reviewers (Clinic Trials Administration Office),
• and the IRB,
• and CareConnect Clinical Study Submission,
• and Registration/Scheduling,
• and PBS Hospital and PSS Professional Billing (and providers' third party billing vendors),
• and post-award Fund Managers,
• and Managed Care Contract Negotiators,
• and Health Information Management,
• and Office of Compliance Services.
