Review:Meaningful Use Program Eligibility
![Page 3: Medicaid 2 - mdedit](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052623/5598f0031a28ab5e5e8b4589/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Medicaid receives funding from both the federal and state government. Medicaid Meaningful Use (MU) is offered and administered by each individual state and territory.
![Page 4: Medicaid 2 - mdedit](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052623/5598f0031a28ab5e5e8b4589/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
For a provider to be eligible for Medicaid EHR incentives, he/she must meet the individual state’s requirements for calculating the Medicaid patient volume threshold, which is normally 30% per provider.

Dentists performing more than 50% of their services at a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) or a Rural Health Center (RHC) are afforded special considerations in the calculation.

Review:Calculating Medicaid Volume
![Page 7: Medicaid 2 - mdedit](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052623/5598f0031a28ab5e5e8b4589/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
An encounter is a single day when services are rendered and paid by Medicaid, or where Medicaid pays premiums, copayments and/or cost-sharing.

Panels are represented by the total Medicaid patients assigned to a provider through a managed care panel, medical home, or similar capitation or case assignment structure.

Group practice and clinic calculations would require all providers in the practice to use the same method of calculation with no limitations on the patient volume in any way.

States can also define an alternative method to calculate. It just has to be approved by the Secretary of HHS.
![Page 11: Medicaid 2 - mdedit](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052623/5598f0031a28ab5e5e8b4589/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Each individual state has the ability to determine a number of variables, including the method for calculating the Medicaid volume.

Review:Medicaid Meaningful Use Program Registration
![Page 13: Medicaid 2 - mdedit](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052623/5598f0031a28ab5e5e8b4589/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
All Medicaid eligible providers (EP) must meet state registration requirements and register at the national level with CMS at www.cms.gov/EHRIncentivePrograms
![Page 14: Medicaid 2 - mdedit](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052623/5598f0031a28ab5e5e8b4589/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
In order to register nationally, an EP will need the following:
• EP’s name, NPI, business address and business phone
• Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)• Elected program of participation – Medicare or Medicaid
• Any other information as specified by CMS
![Page 15: Medicaid 2 - mdedit](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052623/5598f0031a28ab5e5e8b4589/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Once national registration is complete, the dentist will need to register with their state Medicaid Agency. Dentists must participate with Medicaid to be eligible.
![Page 16: Medicaid 2 - mdedit](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052623/5598f0031a28ab5e5e8b4589/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The state Medicaid agency will collect and verify additional eligibility information, such as patient volume and adoption, implementation, or upgraded certified EHR technology (CEHRT).

Review:Medicaid Meaningful Use Incentives and Timelines
![Page 18: Medicaid 2 - mdedit](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052623/5598f0031a28ab5e5e8b4589/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Medicaid MU incentives are paid out over a six-year period. The latest year a dentist can start the Medicaid program is 2016, with the program continuing to pay incentives through 2021.
![Page 19: Medicaid 2 - mdedit](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052623/5598f0031a28ab5e5e8b4589/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
EPs must participate in one year of adopting, implementing or upgrading (AIU) their CEHRT:
• Adopt means to acquire, purchase or secure access to CEHRT
• Implement means to install or use CEHRT capable of MU.
• Upgrade means to expand functionality of CEHRT at the practice site.
![Page 20: Medicaid 2 - mdedit](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052623/5598f0031a28ab5e5e8b4589/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
After the first year of AIU, dentists must meet meaningful use to participate. All EPs will essentially perform two years of MU within each stage.
![Page 21: Medicaid 2 - mdedit](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052623/5598f0031a28ab5e5e8b4589/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
MU will require the dentist to measure data points and reach a defined threshold during a set amount of time, known as the EHR reporting period, for each year of participation.
![Page 22: Medicaid 2 - mdedit](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052623/5598f0031a28ab5e5e8b4589/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
After the required one-year period of AIU, EPs must conduct the patient volume calculation over a 90-day range under Stage 1 MU. Under the Stage 2 final rule, calculation has been changed to a rolling 12 months.
