MU (Briefly)
• Medicaid– Must meet a 30% patient volume
requirement• Tribal sites can use “needy patients”,
Federal sites can not– More potential money - $63,750 per
provider over the life of the program– May start as late as 2016– First year is simply Adopt, Implement, or
Upgrade (this is the easy part!)– Must qualify each year
![Page 6: NPAIHB REC](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161d1550346895dd1c7f7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
MU (Briefly)
• Medicare – No patient volume requirement, but you must
be billing on the Medicare Part B Physician Fee Schedule• If the provider is billing less that $25,000/yr
Medicare Part B, then their incentive payment will be less
– Less potential money – max $44,000 per provider over the life of the program
– Last year to start = 2014 (2012 for max payments)
– First year is actually meeting MU for 90 days!– Penalty phase – starting in 2015
![Page 7: NPAIHB REC](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161d1550346895dd1c7f7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
MU (Briefly)
• When would you choose Medicare Program?– Provider does not meet 30% patient
volume requirement for Medicaid– Provider is a podiatrist, optomitrist, or
chiropractor• Switching Programs
– Can do this one time• Ex – qualify first year for Medicaid, but can’t
qualify the next year….ok to switch to Medicare

$ Money $
• ~ $800,000 paid to sites in Portland Area– 41 providers from 10 sites– Several more providers from 5 more
sites pending payments• Largely from Medicaid program • Potential for many more providers to
get payments – still plenty of time to start!

Moving forward
• If you haven’t started yet – – Still plenty of time– Focus on qualifying for Medicaid– Registration– This is real money…– Let’s get that first yearMedicaid payment!

REC Timeline
• M3 Acceleration from ONC– Reasons– What it means – How it will help
![Page 14: NPAIHB REC](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161d1550346895dd1c7f7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Barriers
• E-prescribing– Required to meet MU– Inhouse RPMS Pharmacy – Tribally owned COTS Pharmacy– No Pharmacy
• 14 sites signed up with the REC that will need e-Prescribing for MU
![Page 15: NPAIHB REC](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161d1550346895dd1c7f7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
RPMS E-Prescribing
• Released March 2012– Controlled Release– Many requirements to complete before
going live• Drug File Optimization• 3 signed Agreements
– BAA, DEA, EUA
![Page 16: NPAIHB REC](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161d1550346895dd1c7f7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
E-Prescribing
• 7 sites with drug files ready to go• 2 sites scheduled• 1 ready to be scheduled• Washington State Board of Pharmacy
![Page 17: NPAIHB REC](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161d1550346895dd1c7f7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
E-Prescribing
• Interface with COTS Pharmacy– Requirements are written from RPMS
side– May take to your COTS vendor and ask if
they will program a way to interface with RPMS
– Will still want Drug File optimized, as interface would use the same functionality as e-Prescribing
![Page 18: NPAIHB REC](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161d1550346895dd1c7f7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
MU Stage 2
• Final Rule due out this summer– Parts may go into effect immediately
• Patient Volume calculations?– Others would take effect in 2014 most
likely

Stage 2 Highlights
Patient Volume Calculations• Expanded definition of Medicaid
patient encounter– Hopefully helps Service Units use the
Group Volume calculation• Flexible look-back period
– Previous 12 months vs prior calendar year
![Page 21: NPAIHB REC](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161d1550346895dd1c7f7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Stage 2 Highlights
• Performance Measures– Increasing target percentages– Moving menu set to core set– “Test” transmissions changed to
“successful and ongoing”
![Page 22: NPAIHB REC](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161d1550346895dd1c7f7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Stage 2 Highlights
• Measures relying on patient action– Provide online access to health
information for more than 50% of patients with more than 10% actually accessing
– View/download/transmit health information
– More than 10% of patients send secure messages to their providers
![Page 23: NPAIHB REC](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161d1550346895dd1c7f7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Stage 2 Comments
• General – provider based program now relying on patient action for incentives and to avoid payment penalties?
• Internet Access Issue– Broadband Exclusion
• Poorly outlined, difficult to interpret
![Page 24: NPAIHB REC](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568161d1550346895dd1c7f7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
