American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, $19 billion to go to practices using EHR.
What does the new stimulus bill mean for your practice?
- $17 billion used for Medicare and Medicaid incentives
- $2 billion to carry out the Health Information Technology Act (HITECH Act)
- $300 million for regional efforts towards health information exchange
- PLUS… Total possible individual physician incentives reaching over $44,000
To qualify for physician incentives beginning the first year, practices must be meaningful users of a fully installed and operating EHR system by that time.
Practices not using a system by 2015 will face Medicare penalties.
