CMS Has a New FAQ on Payment for the Medicare EHR Incentive Program


CMS wants to keep you updated with information on the Medicare and MedicaidElectronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Programs. Take a minute and review CMS' new FAQ on receiving an incentive payment in the Medicare EHR Incentive Program.
Question: I am an eligible professional (EP) who has successfully attested for theMedicare EHR Incentive Program, so why haven't I received my incentive payment yet?
Answer: For EPs, incentive payments for the Medicare EHR Incentive Program will be made approximately four to eight weeks after an EP successfully attests that they have demonstrated meaningful use of certified EHR technology. However, EPs will not receive incentive payments within that timeframe if they have not yet met the threshold for allowed charges for covered professional services furnished by the EP during the year.
