The Visits Events tab displays one record for each of the active Protocol Visits for the current project. By clicking , the Visit Event module opens and allows the user the ability to set up different payment rates for each visit in the visit schedule and set different payment triggers that are based on whether a visit has been approved, completed, or awaiting manual approval.
Payments for each visit can be dependent on other visits, for example, you can hold off on paying the Screening visit until after Visit 1 is complete.
Additionally, users have the option to prevent auto-approval of a payment transaction based on one or more payment conditions being met at the subject visit level, including completion of procedures, completion of monitoring, or completion of some other condition(s). Users can define the itemized costs for each Subject Visit Event to indicate the total payment for that visit.
Users can set up a Combined Rate, which is an alternate amount to pay if two visits occur on the same day (ex. If the Screening visit pays $100 and Visit 1 pays $100 separately, but if they occur on the same day, then you can choose to pay a lower amount, such as $180).
On the Site Budget module, other tabs are available including the Site Budget, Subject Events, Pass-Thru Costs, Custom Fields and Attachments tabs. Clicking returns you to the Site Budget List page.
On the Budget Template module, other tabs are available including the Budget Template, Subject Events, Pass-Thru Costs, and Attachments. Clicking returns you to the Budget Template List page.
