Our high-touch patient concierge services include but are not limited to, individualized air and rail ticketing, hotel and housing accommodations, payment and reimbursement processes, and ongoing patient, family, and caregiver support. Our services reduce the emotional and financial stressors related to travel and out-of-pocket expenses related to clinical trial participation. We address unique patient and caregiver needs, and the many demands complex trial designs place on participants and their families, building custom solutions to specific study-related problems.
