Working with the Clinical Research Administration, the Research Revenue Cycle team can help you manage your industry-sponsored award expenses through:
- Coverage analysis (CA) development: The Research Revenue Cycle team develops coverage analysis to determine when clinical-trial billing/procedures are billable to Medicare, according to CMS guidelines (NCD 310.1), or third-party payers. This tool also is designed to serve as a guideline for clinical budgeting purposes.
- The CA is utilized to review charges during charge review.
- Study budget development: The Research Revenue Cycle team offers tools, templates and training for study teams as needed during budget development.
- Sponsor invoicing: The Research Revenue Cycle team develops invoicing grids in order to invoice the sponsor for contractually agreed-upon terms. Invoices are generated on a monthly basis to ensure that services are captured and monies are collected. The invoicing grid serves as a tool to ensure that charges and payments are captured throughout the life of the study. Once payments are received, they are applied to the activity unit via EPIC (billing system). Reports are sent monthly to Accounts Payable for reconciliation.
