What it means
Routine care costs are the ordinary medical expenses a clinical trial participant would incur even without participating in the trial—such as doctor visit fees, standard lab work, imaging, and hospital stays required for their condition. Federal law and most state laws require Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurers to cover these costs for participants in qualifying clinical trials. The study sponsor covers expenses unique to the research; your insurance covers the care you would need regardless. If your insurer refuses to pay routine care costs for a clinical trial, you have the right to appeal that decision.
