Clinical Research Billing for Small to Medium Sites with Kristi Etchberger

Clinical Trial Podcast | Conversations with Clinical Research Experts

A big part of managing clinical research at any site is managing clinical research billing. If you don’t keep track of your research finances, it can end up costing you a lot of money in the long run. To understand clinical research billing, how to manage billing activities, the role of a clinical trial management system (CTMS), differences between cash and accrual based accounting, and more, I invited our guest, Kristi Etchberger, on the show. Kristi founded Clinical Research Billing in 2015 to help independent research sites manage their CTMS and generate cash flow through invoicing and collections. After nearly seven years, she and her partners have built Clinical Research Billing into a successful, growing small business.

Kristi served as Chief Executive Officer of Atlantic Clinical Research Collaborative in Palm Beach County, Florida, where she oversaw the implementation of a clinical trial management system.

Kristi is an experienced corporate executive with a background in corporate finance and international equity markets.

Kristi received her M.B.A. in finance from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, B.A. in economics and psychology from Pitzer College, Claremont, California, and the Chartered Financial Analyst designation from the CFA Institute.

She studied pharmaceutical law at Seton Hall University.
