About Us

Consistency, clarity, confidence

With CFS, consistency is key. They pay more often, and their portal provides excellent documentation with regard to every check we receive. Instead of the typical 60- and often a 90-day payment lag after patient visits, we always receive payments from CFS within 30 to 45 days after patient visits during the course of a study. They notify us via email when payments are made, and their portal provides complete information about every transaction—from visit and subject to payment amount and withhold amount. With CFS, I always know what I am getting now and what I can expect later.

About CFS

  • Shorten the study initiation phase, which maximizes the number of sites that are activated and “enrollment ready” when the enrollment phase of the trial begins
  • Accelerate contract and payment cycle times
  • Enjoy improved investigator relationships and satisfaction
  • Satisfy federal (Sunshine Act) and state aggregate spend reporting requirements
  • Improve treasury and cash flow management
  • Improve financial viability for future research programs
  • Improve quality
  • Reduce costs
  • Focus on core competencies
