Did you know that Sept 15, 2017 was the deadline for New EPs to register and attest for 2016 Medicaid EHR Program. Although the incentive payments continue through 2021, this is the last year NEW EP’s must register and able to report EHR 2016 EHR measures.
EPs may receive up to $21,250 for the first participating year and $8,500 for the each remaining participation year. The program is 6 years and you DO NOT have to participate consecutively.
Whether this is your first year or not, when attesting for any Incentive Programs (PQRS/Medicare EHR/Medicaid EHR), make sure the information for the Provider your are attesting for or the information for the qualified clinic/provider group is correct.
The last thing you need is to find out that CMS or Medicaid has the wrong NPI or Tax ID on file. This will hinder your attestation and will create nothing but delays that would draw a thin line between you receiving that incentive or getting a penalty letter.
