  • Pricing for clinical services performed for research purposes at our affiliate sites
  • Coordinating agreements & contracts
  • Creation of your coverage analysis (a document that outlines what clinical procedures may be paid by Medicare or health insurance, and what procedures must be paid by the study)
  • Assessment of billing risk (risk that research procedures may inadvertently be billed to insurance or participants)
  • Creation of research accounts in Epic (electronic medical record)
  • Velos eResearch clinical trial management system – study setup and administration
