9th Annual Clinical Trial Billing and Research Compliance

9th Annual Clinical Trial Billing and Research Compliance Conference To: “Your boss or training manager” From: “You” Re: 9th Annual Clinical Trial Billing and Research Compliance Conference I’d like approval to attend the 9th Annual Clinical Trial Billing and Research Compliance Conference February 8-­‐11th, 2015. The event is organized by ExL Pharma, an industry leader in developing innovative, educational and pharmaceutical conferences and Kelly Willenberg, LLC and expert in the billing compliance industry. The conference will address oversight issues as management, financial and research teams combine effort to “do the right thing” and always seek reimbursement from the correct payer for routine costs in a qualifying trial. I will also learn what makes a trial “qualifying”, how does a coverage analysis help, what tools do you need in place and why is it that some of the rules with payers are confusing. Attending the conference will also afford me the opportunity to network with other compliance professionals while earning CCB continuing education credits. At a cost of about $2,919 for the Academic, Non-­‐Profit, Government rate or $3,319 for the Corporate rate to attend, this will be a cost-­‐
effective way to hear best practices presented in all areas of billing compliance, review exclusive case studies on physician practice issues, CTMS use and ethical issues in billing as well as listen to an interactive panel featuring three different jurisdiction representatives from Medicare Contractors.
