Site Payments

Site payments should be predictable and accurate. When they aren’t, teams spend time reconciling errors, answering site questions, and managing delays that slow study progress.

Medidata Site Payments automatically triggers payment calculations as work is completed in any Electronic Data Capture (EDC), keeping payments accurate, on time, and aligned with real study activity.

Video transcript: So I'm the associate director of site payments. It's just me and a contractor that manage all of site payments. My first time working with Medidata was actually my first time working in clinical site payments. It was not necessarily an ideal scenario because we had an urgent need that needed to be rectified as quickly as possible. It was a quick transition, but the partnership with our team at Medidata has been invaluable. They were able to customize the way that we did the implementation to kind of meet our needs and let us kind of dictate certain ways that we wanted to transition. Invoices are getting paid timely. Payments are being received by sites. That's when we hear from investigators the most, is when there are problems, when they feel like they're not getting paid. I can say that since starting the managed services process and kind of getting everybody on board, overall we're hearing from sites less because the system is working. Having worked with multiple payment vendors, my favorite things about Medidata is the wonderful balance of ownership with expertise that we know that we can really rely on. But I also know that I have access to information, answers, you know, at my own fingertips, as well as relying on my team. And again, I'll say the people are like the icing on the cake.
