Abstract Details
The National Coverage Decision provides rules for billing of clinical trials. Sites must follow these rules and sponsors must identify the hard and soft trends that make or break a study budget based on the cost analysis. This workshop will use samples, case studies, and benchmarks for what a cost coverage analysis can provide. This will enable a sponsor and a site to have more knowledge and shape their goals accordingly. This process is in place now for sites to analyze a study and defend how they bill a third party. This workshop will help both sites and sponsors to understand their role within this process. Attendees will identify issues and participate in group exercises to help them to understand this important process in budget development and billing compliance.
