MiChart Charge Clean Up Continues!

MBECT: Disenrollment and
Visit Management!
The Importance of Disenrollment
Thank you to all of the Study Teams who have already contacted us and disenrolled their participants!!
Disenrolling subjects from MBECT when the study participant has completed or is "off study" benefits your Study Team, all of Clinical Research Billing, and especially your study participants.
This helps reduce clinical research billing errors, reduce the work load for you and the research work queue and makes data in MBECT and MiChart accurate with timely disenrollment of our participants.
We're here to assist and will continue reaching out to support teams in completion of this important practice!
