Why Organizations Choose CT Payer

CT Payer provides organizations in the life science industry with a unique internet based payment solution for the management and disbursement of patient stipends and reimbursements. Replacing traditional paper checks and cash-based payments with cutting edge electronic deposits onto reloadable prepaid debit cards improves subject recruitment and retention by providing payees with convenient and timely payments.

Our clinical trial and research study related payment system incorporates cardholder registration, card issuance and card account loading. Our intuitive, web-based interface means payments can easily be managed remotely or on-site with no software required. Our robust, hierarchical reporting provides all parties with unparalleled visibility and control over the entire payment process. Extensive fraud controls protect payers and payees alike. And because we leverage the sophisticated Visa®/Mastercard® system, our web based card system is faster and more cost effective than traditional payment methods.
