CMS Posts Summary of ARRA and Incentive Payments for EHR
On June 16, 2009, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released a fact sheet on the Medicare and Medicaid Health Information Technology: Title IV of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The fact sheet details the Medicare and Medicaid incentive payments for meaningful users of electronic health information (EHR). In addition to the summary of ARRA, the fact sheet contains a section on Frequently Asked Questions about the incentive payments.
According to this fact sheet, CMS expects to publish a proposed rule to define "meaningful use" of EHR and to establish the criteria for the incentive payments by late 2009.
