On February 23, 2010, CMS is hosting a teleconference on its January 13, 2010 proposed rule implementing the electronic health record (EHR) incentive payment provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). Among other things, the program will address: eligibility for incentives; what constitutes meaningful use; how to demonstrate meaningful use; and how to submit comments.
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.
