Subject Payment and Stipend Tracking Agent

Each participant is paid the correct amount for completed visits, with errors found and corrected

Subject Payment and Stipend Tracking Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Participant stipends are easy to get wrong when visits are missed, rescheduled or added. This agent matches completed visits from the study record to the payment schedule in the approved consent and budget. It calculates the amount owed for each participant, including travel or extra procedure payments, and compares it to what was already paid. Unpaid and overpaid items are flagged, and it drafts payment requests for the finance office. After payments are processed, it rereads the payment records and rechecks balances. The coordinator approves every payment. Edge case: a participant withdrew after visit 3, so the agent applies the partial payment rule from the consent and does not pay the completion bonus.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

Amount owed equals the scheduled payment for each completed visit, plus approved extras, less amounts already paid.

  • Pay only visits marked complete in the record
  • Apply the consent's partial payment rule on withdrawal
  • Flag any overpayment above $10
  • Never combine participants in one payment request

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Each payment request
  • Any recovery of an overpayment

Hard limits

  • Never exposes participant names outside the payment request

It stops when

An example run

What happensParticipant 0017 completed visits 1 to 4 at 60 dollars each and a 20 dollar parking add-on, owing 260 dollars. The ledger showed 240, so the balance check failed. The agent traced a missed parking add-on, drafted a 20 dollar request and noted participant 0021 was paid 60 for a visit marked missed. The coordinator approved both items and finance processed them.
