Essential Components of a Clinical Trial Agreement | Webinar Series
Historically, when payors saw that patients were enrolled in clinical trials, they declined to cover many routine costs of care and presumed many costs were associated with the clinical trial. This led to many sponsors excluding older participants who may have a variety of medical conditions. To encourage device and drug manufacturers to include Medicare beneficiaries in clinical trials, a law was passed wherein Medicare (and Medicare Advantage Organizations), would cover not only routine costs that would have been covered absent a clinical trial, but would also cover a portion of the costs of the clinical trial and medical complications that might arise from such participation. In this webinar, we will learn how savvy sponsors and institutions conduct analyses of the costs of a clinical trial and bill Medicare for medical services when possible.
Learning Objectives:
- How to qualify a clinical trial for Medicare coverage of certain costs.
- How to minimize the chances that clinical trial costs will prompt an audit of a facility's billing practices.
