FAQ

Do I need insurance to join a clinical research study in Guilford County?

Peters Medical Research says insurance is not required, and Care Access says its health screenings do not require insurance or a doctor referral. Study-specific eligibility and costs still need to be confirmed with the site.

Can clinical research participants receive treatment or payment?

At Peters Medical Research, qualified participants may receive study medication and study-related medical treatment at no cost. Most of its studies also compensate participants for time and travel.

What should I look for when choosing a local research institute?

Start with the condition or goal being studied: Peters lists diabetes, gastroparesis, gastrointestinal, respiratory, metabolic, and cardiovascular studies, while Care Access focuses on screenings and trial referrals. Also confirm eligibility, required visits, and whether compensation applies to the specific study.

Are clinical research sites appropriate for emergencies or routine primary care?

No. Care Access specifically says it is not for emergency care or ongoing primary care; its services focus on screenings, education, and clinical research participation.
