Clinical trials and insurance coverage

From SmartMedicalConsumer Wiki

A growing number of states require health insurance plans to cover the cost of routine medical care the patient receives as a participant in a clinical trial.

These laws and agreements do not cover the research costs associated with the conduct of the trial, such as tests purely performed for research purposes. In most cases, such costs would be paid for by the group sponsoring the trial, such as the National Cancer Institute or a pharmaceutical company.
