Medicare will use both carrot and stick approach to reward EMR\EHR adoption, and to penalize non-adoption.

Incentives include up to $64,000 + for early adopters of EHR Software.  Penalties estimate up to 3-5% of medicare billings.

Four critical aspects of the bill include:
1- Elegibile Professional; (under medicare provisions of the bill, an elegibile professional is a doctor of medicine or ostepoathy; dentists; podiatrists; optometrists; chiropractors).
2- Not be hospital based;
3- Demonstrate “Meaningful Use” of an EHR software.  To be left up to discretion of HHS Secretary, but expected to include e-prescribing, interoperability, clinical reporting,
4- Certified EHR program. - yet to be determined by HHS Secretary, but exptected to include CCHIT certification.

Incentives will be allowed thru two provisions:
1-Medicare incentives
2-Medicaid incentives
But NOT BOTH.  No incentives after 2016.  Up to 10% additional reimbursements for physicians in “physician shortage areas”.

Physicians who demonstrate “meaningful use” in first two years receive a $3,000 bonus.
