Payment:

For the majority of studies, you will typically get your check in a lump sum about two weeks after you complete the study, all stays and out patient visits.  For the studies that last over three months, you may get a few checks.  Direct deposit is available.  All checks are distributed from Madison, WI. 

Additional Information:

Clinic has moved to a new building not too far from old location.  I am told that daily visitation is no longer allowed if any at all.  The staff are friendly and professional.  Great place to do a short or long term study.
