There are two types of costs:
1) Routine care costs
2) Research costs. Health insurance typically covers the cost of the routine care.
These are costs that would incur whether or not you were in a clinical trial. However, you will still be responsible for any co-payments and/or deductibles. Research costs for the research portion of a trial are paid for by the trial itself at no cost to you. However, there may be additional costs, such as personal time and travel expenses, which may or may not be covered by a clinical trial. Please be aware that each trial is unique. The study team will go over the costs of participation with you before you agree to participate.
