Guidance to States on ARRA Electronic Health Record Provisions
On September 1, 2009, CMS issued guidance to state Medicaid directors on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) provisions allowing payment to providers who adopt and become meaningful users of electronic health records. Specifically, CMS has outlined allowable state expenses related to the administration of the provider incentive payments. CMS will publish proposed regulations to formally implement this policy later this year.
