Clinical Trial Billing Under Medicare Overcome Billing Irregularities to Avoid Regulatory Challenges
Product Details
The challenges of segregating standard of care charges from those payable by a sponsor have led health care organizations to develop their own customized, paper-intensive, manual work flows … which frequently result in more confusion and errors.
Here’s how to avoid billing irregularities in your organization.
As a clinical trial sponsor negotiating a trial budget, you need to clearly understand what costs are billable to third-party payers, including Medicare and Medicaid, before you allocate money to your sites.
But the process of determining which costs are billable and which are not involves analyzing hundreds of items and services provided during the trial.
If you don’t fully understand those costs, you risk under- or over-paying your sites, leaving you wide open for a bad billing investigation by the Office of Inspector General (OIG).
And sponsors that face charges of aiding and abetting false claims (based on what your site improperly billed) risk criminal and civil penalties — and up to treble damages.
Why take that chance?
Instead, learn how to negotiate clinical trial budgets that will ensure your sites comply with Medicare and the Federal False Claims Act.
In this 90-minute webinar, noted attorneys Holley Lutz and Lisa Murtha discuss the Medicare Clinical Research Coverage Policy — how to negotiate a clinical trial budget that keeps your sites operating and billing in compliance. Learn which costs are billable to third-party payers and why sites have trouble billing appropriately.
