Program Description: Compliance with Medicare’s billing requirements is critical to the long-term success of an organization engaged in clinical research. Improper billing, double-billing, or other noncompliance exposes an organization to the risks of civil monetary penalties and other punitive measures. A Medicare coverage analysis (“MCA”) is an important component of an organization’s research billing compliance process.
This program will provide a big picture overview of a MCA and will cover:
- When to conduct a MCA
- How to conduct a MCA• What is a qualified clinical trial
- Which trial-related expenses of qualified clinical trials are covered by Medicare (e.g., routine costs)
- Coverage of investigational devices
Participants will receive practical tools for conducting a MCA, including a checklist to determine whether a clinical trial is a qualified clinical trial eligible for Medicare reimbursement.
Upon completion of this Webinar, attendees should be able to:
- Understand the why and when of a Medicare coverage analysis
- Understand the general rules for Medicare coverage in the clinical trial context
- Identify when an item or service is covered by Medicare
- Conduct a Medicare coverage analysis
