Medicare Update December 2014

If you have received a letter from Medicare stating that you will have your fee reduced due to failure to certify with meaningful use through Electronic Health Records you can visit http://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Legislation/EHRIncentivePrograms/paymentadj_hardship.html.
  • Eligible Professional Payment Adjustment Reconsideration Instructions
  • Eligible Professional Payment Adjustment Reconsideration Application
Although the categories may not fit your situation, there is a tab for other where you can explain your reason for not meeting the EHR/Meaningful use requirement. As many of us have small practices that this may pose a financial hardship for it is worth a try. The application is simple to fill out and can be emailed. This is only for those doctors who have received the payment adjustment letter for meaningful use. The deadline is February 28, 2015.
