CHS Presents at AAMC Compliance Forum
CHS participated in the presentation of a case study at the AAMC Compliance Forum outlining how CHS worked collaboratively with an Academic Medical Center client to develop a Clinical Trials Financial Management Department to oversee billing compliance for research funding in access of $140 million annually. CHS assisted in the process of developing a streamlined process utilizing system tools to manage compliance risks of the following: government false claim or violation of terms of a payor contract, inappropriate patient statements, lost revenue and inefficient use of resources.
By partnering the clinical, operational and business with the right technology and process tools a solution was created to address questions like:
- Was participant correctly registered and identified at check-in?
- Was billing plan consistent with informed consent, sponsor guidelines, and third party payer rules?
- Were services appropriately charged to either the study account or third party payer consistently with
billing plan?
As a result of this effort key improvements were made resulting in research services being properly identified and ensuring that patients families were not billed incorrectly and thereby increasing the capturing of data pertaining to research services.
