Standard of Care
One Database. One Billion Paid Medical Claims. One Standard of Care.
IMS Standard of Care - The only tool on the market that provides current information on what is
considered a standard procedure. Via the web, Standard of Care allows the user to identify which
of the protocols visits and procedures are reimbursable within standard care medical claims. Rather
than depend on sites to provide this information, IMS provides objective data on how sites actually
treat patients allowing you to budget accurately.
STANDARD OF CARE BENEFI TS
• One mouse click highlights all procedures in a protocol that are standard of care.
• Achieve cost savings by reducing payment overlap from sponsor and third party payers.
• Reduce effort and time to gather standard of care information.
• Negotiate with con fidence fair market value payments to investigators.
THE SOURCE OF DATA
IMS Standard of Care is derived from HIPAA compliant, deidentified, third party medical
reimbursement claims across various third-party insurance providers, Medicare and Medicaid, and
covers approximately 70% of reimbursed care in the US. Standard of Care tracks annually about
one billion medical claims submitted by physicians and 200 million claims submitted by hospitals
and clinics.

GrantPlan - Online Negotiation
Clinical Trials – Sooner. Cost Benchmarking – Faster. Online Negotiations – Masterful.
Despite your role, be it finance, outsourcing, compliance or a sponsor, Online Negotiation can bring
you immediate value. It allows for the negotiation process to move faster and it provides good
internal data so you can track and measure cost and time savings.
Online Negotiations, an innovative tool integrates with clinical investigator sites to reduce the use
of telephone, and facsimile modes of communication for negotiations, benchmarking and reporting.
No more paper – a more efficient and green approach that assures resource savings. It also doesn’t
require that you or the sites learn a new system. It works just like email.
The system mechanizes and adds efficiency to what you have always done manually. And with IMS
training and help desk support, the web-based system is made as easy as 1 - 2 - 3.
1. Prepare for negotiation by setting the trial specifics to be sent to the investigator sites.
2. IMS will contact and train your investigators as users.
3. Negotiations begin with all clinical trial cost changes and approvals documented with date and
time stamps.
IMS GrantPlan and IMS CRO CostPro then retain a record of the clinical trial costs of the entire study
for your continued future access for budget negotiations and agreements.
Online Negotiation – the greener, faster, and smarter way to negotiate.
