Course Description

This web seminar is focused on processes and approaches to increase fiscal return and mitigate fiscal compliance risk for clinical trials. The ability to develop robust budgets, ensure billing compliance and adherence to CMSMedicare regulations for clinical trials remains a challenge for many clinical sites, sponsors and Contract Research Organizations (CROs). A risk-based approach requires not only a strategy but tools to define key indicators to measure specific risks. In this web seminar, learners will come away with strategies for covering true costs related to clinical research and how to distinguish them from routine care charges. Methodologies to avoid false claims and/or wrongful billing will also be presented.
