Clinical Research Billing
Reconciling
Thank you to our Study Teams who so diligently reconcile their participant charges on study accounts each month! This allows CRAO and RCRB's (Revenue Cycle Research Billing) to identify root causes of errors and make needed modifications. If you need assistance please contact CRAO or check out this helpful "How To Reconcile" guide located on our website.
Shortcode Changes
We want to help our Research Partners avoid journal entry corrections!  Send your Short Code changes to the RCRB's in a timely manner.
Analyst News
Amendments
To expedite the review process please highlight or list any changes made to the previously approved billing calendar. This helps our Analysts accelerate the review of your team's Amendment, improving turn around time.
Of Note!
