Proposed Stages of Meaningful Use By Payment YearFirst Payment Year for EP

Medicare and Medicaid Rules
EPs (eligible professionals) choose between Medicare & Medicaid (must be 30% of pts. except for peds who need 20%)
Medicare and Medicaid rules: mostly consistent
One-time switch no later than 2014
Source: Association of American Medical Colleges
Incentives for Eligible Professionals Medicare payments are available for EPs that are
paid under the physician fee schedule (PFS)
Medicare payments will be determined on an individual-practitioner basis
Each year under the EHR Incentive Program, an EP will receive 75 percent of the EP’s total “allowed charges” during the Payment Year, subject to a cap.
The payment limit for the first year depends on when the EP begins “meaningful use” of an EHR system.
