Electronic
Prescription Compliance Affects Medicare
Payments
CMS
has released information regarding the Electronic
Prescriptions program for 2011. If you are
an Eligible Professional, you are required
to report 10 instances of electronic prescribing
before June 30, 2011. If a physician chooses
not to use and report electronic prescribing,
the physician will only receive 99% of their
Part B physician fee schedule starting in
2012. The percentages will continue to decrease
each year if the physician is not in compliance
with the use of Electronic Prescriptions.
Please make sure your office is aware of
the requirements. You can see the latest
information by clicking
here or visiting the CMS https://www.cms.gov/ERXIncentive/.
EHR
Incentive Program Progress
The
EHR Incentive program officially began January
3, 2011. Since then over 21,000
providers have registered for the Medicare
and Medicaid incentive programs. CMS
is recommending all eligible providers register
for the program even if they are not ready
to begin using an EHR or meeting meaningful
use. Medicaid has already paid $2.7
Million in incentives this year, and Medicare incentive
payments will begin May 2011. Don't delay
in working towards you or your doctor's
incentive payment which could be up to $44,000
or $63,750 per provider!
