Meaningful Use

• The government has paid out more than $22 billion in Meaningful Use incentives and it is about time you joined the bandwagon in case you haven’t already

• The last date to begin your reporting period for the Meaningful Use program is July 1, 2014

• So get your act together and start putting your Electronic Health Record (EHR) software to a more ‘meaningful’ use

• Additionally, there are many more reasons to start your program today

Deadline 2014

• The year 2014 is going to be the last to begin the Medicare EHR Incentive program and enable yourself to earn up to $24,000 until 2017

• In order to do that, you must ‘meaningfully use’ a certified EHR like CureMD for a reporting period of 90 days and attest to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) before the deadline of October 1, 2014

• The last day to start a Meaningful Use EHR reporting period in order to attest by October 1, 2014 is July 1, 2014

Penalties from 2015

• Medicare will start imposing penalties from January 1, 2015 on eligible providers who do not meet Meaningful Use criteria

• These penalties will start at 1% of your Medicare Part B reimbursements and will continue to increase by 1% every year if you do not meet Meaningful Use criteria

Start as soon as possible

• Adoption of an Electronic Health Record system and adhering to the Meaningful Use criteria will not be possible in a day

• On average, most providers need several attempts to be able to meet Meaningful Use criteria in the first year

• So make sure you start as soon as possible in order to give yourself some time to develop a workflow that works best for you and your practice
