Medicare Eligible Hospitals: Take Action by April 1 to Avoid 2015 Payment Adjustment

Payment adjustments for eligible hospitals that have not successfully participated in the Medicare EHR Incentive Program will begin on October 1, 2014. Hospitals can avoid the payment adjustment by taking action by April 1.

Hospitals that have never participated in the Medicare EHR Incentive Program can:◦ Submit a hardship exception application for experiencing

circumstances that posted a significant barrier to achieving meaningful use

◦ Begin 90 days of meaningful use for the 2014 reporting year by April 1 and attest by July 1

Hospitals that participated in 2011 or 2012, but did not successfully participate in 2013 due to circumstances that created barriers can also submit a hardship exception.
