Date: Thursday, July 14

Did you know that providers have received over $190 million in Medicare and Medicaid EHR incentive payments? You may be eligible for a payment, too. Join CMS for an EP-focused national call on the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Program basics to learn more about the programs.

The call will cover the following topics:

• Are you eligible?

• How much are the incentives and how are they calculated?

• How do you get started?

• What are major milestones regarding participation and payment?

• How do you report on meeting meaningful use?

• Where can you find helpful resources?

• A question and answer session

Who is considered an EP?

• Doctors of Medicine or Osteopathy

• Doctors of Dental Surgery or Dental Medicine

• Doctors of Podiatric Medicine

• Doctors of Optometry

• Chiropractors

• Nurse Practitioners

• Certified Nurse Midwives

• Physician Assistants (PAs) who practice at an FQHC/RHC that is led by a PA

Note: Hospital-based EPs may not participate in the EHR Incentive Programs. An EP is considered hospital-based if 90 percent or more of the EP's services are performed in a hospital inpatient or emergency room setting. Medicaid EPs must meet patient volume criteria, providing services to those attributable to Medicaid or, in some cases, needy individuals.
