If your practice has been employing EHR technology in preparation for Medicare EHR incentive payments, it’s time to prepare for the attestation process.

Attestation will open next Monday, April 18, 2011.

Click here for sample screenshots and a walkthrough of the general attestation process.

According to CMS, “meaningful use requirements for eligible professionals, eligible hospitals, and critical access hospitals participating in the Medicare EHR Incentive Program are different.”

Physicians and other medical professionals, for instance, must report on 15 core measures, five of 10 menu measures, and six clinical quality measures, which consist of three required core measures and three additional measures, according to an article at FierceEMR.com.

Once your attestation is successfully submitted online, your practice will be qualified to receive your Medicare EHR incentive payment!
