Frequently Asked Questions

How can I best advise my study subjects of their financial obligations specific to study protocol services?

It is best to advise study subjects of their financial obligations specific to their study participation by:

• Providing clear and specific language in the informed consent form describing subjects’ responsibility for deductibles/copayments/co-insurance for billable care rendered at the study visits just as for any ordinary care visit
• Reviewing these responsibilities during the consenting process and explaining that the study team has no discretion to waive their deductible/copayments for billable care provided at study visits.
