Friday, February 18, 2011; 1:00-2:30pm EST


The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) invites you to join us for a national provider call addressing how eligible professionals can register for the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program. Learn if you are eligible for the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program, how to register, and what other steps you must take to receive an incentive payment. CMS will also discuss switching between the Medicare and Medicaid programs, reassigning incentive payments, and how to get help. The presentation will be followed by a question and answer session.


The target audience for this call is eligible professionals under the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program, including:

* Physicians (primarily doctors of medicine and doctors of osteopathy)
* Nurse practitioners
* Certified nurse-midwives
* Dentists
* Physician assistants who furnish services in a federally-qualified health center or rural health clinic that is led by a physician assistant.


To qualify for an incentive payment under the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program, an eligible professional must meet Medicaid patient volume criteria.
