This CLE webinar will prepare counsel for healthcare providers to qualify for EHR incentive payments under the requirements of the new CMS and ONC rules. The panel will outline best practices to navigate the rules to obtain funding.
Description
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) issued final rules setting standards and certification criteria for healthcare providers to take advantage of billions of dollars available in incentive payments.
The CMS regulations, which changed significantly from the proposed regulations, detail the meaningful use criteria that determine whether providers using electronic health records (EHR) will qualify for Medicare and Medicaid funding under the HITECH Act during the program's first two years.
With implementation of the Medicare and Medicaid EHR incentive programs rapidly approaching, counsel for healthcare providers must understand the requirements to qualify and how to navigate the rules.
Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare attorneys examines the meaningful use criteria and rules for EHRs technology certification. The panel will offer strategies to navigate the rules to qualify for the incentive payment program.
