title: Medicare coverage analysis: avoiding compliance pitfalls.
abstract: Healthcare finance leaders should take the following steps to ensure the eligibility of a clinical study for Medicare coverage: Centralize the process of collecting and archiving all relative components, such as protocol, consent, sponsor budgets, and contracts. Establish a standard operating process from the time a provider sees a patient to how the service is documented and communicated to payers. Provide ongoing education to staff and research personnel to mitigate the risk of mistakes.
