15 FAQ Q: Are we still using the fax number previously associated with this process? A: No. Please discontinue any use of Rfax, fax, and/or personal email, as part of the Research Billing Processes Q: If prior versions of forms have already been completed, including submission, do we need to complete a new one? A: No. Please “cutover” where appropriate with use of the new process. However, any initial submissions of Research Billing Form #1, Research Billing Notification Form, will be declined with notification of such and reference to the new process Q: Is completion of this process required where billing is not fulfilled through IU Health Revenue Cycle? A: Yes. With provision of this information, onus of subsequent compliancy issues attributed to non- submission of these documents will be addressed with associated research personnel, where appropriate Q: What specifically does “supplies” pertain to? A: IU Health Revenue Cycle should always be made aware when supplies are provided at no or reduced cost, to avoid billing insurance or patients errantly for those services. Where this is known or suspected, notification is required. 6/28/201615
