  • Systems and methods for authorizing and processing reimbursements for services provided in the collection of implantable medical device data
    Publication number: 20050192842
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention relates to a system for processing reimbursements to physicians who participate in one or more medical studies, which typically require the physicians to perform procedures on patients. In one embodiment, the system comprises a microprocessor-based controller, and a computer readable medium, which includes instructions executable by the microprocessor-based controller. The instructions are adapted to cause the system to receive medical procedure information from the physicians for each procedure they perform on patients. The system further is adapted to automatically validate the medical procedure information, and upon validating the information, store a reimbursement record in a database for each procedure. In one embodiment, the reimbursement record indicates at least a reimbursement amount and the physician to be reimbursed.
