Disclaimers• Only Eligible Professionals (EP)• Mostly Medicare, not MA, MCD• Not Interactions between the MU program, PQRS,
ACO, eRX, SGR, Sequestration, etc.• Not combo situations (MCD program w/MCR PFS)• Rules are a starting point. CMS and ONC FAQs will
clarify nuances and change frequently• The IFR for Certification is related but not addressed
here since it is addressed towards EHR vendors

The Grand Plan
• The government wants to incent providers to use electronic health record (EHR) systems.
• The government wants evidence that providers are using EHRs for particular things.
• Accepting the incentive from the government is optional, not required.
PAGE 13 KAREO | CONFIDENTIAL
What and Who Is Crafting Meaningful Use
• Congress and the President = The LAW: ARRA – American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, aka Stimulus Bill, HITECH Act (section).
• Health & Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)– Secretary Sebelius– The National Coordinator, currently Dr. Farzad
Mostashari– The HIT Policy and the HIT Standards Committees– Multiple Work Groups of Volunteers
PAGE 14 KAREO | CONFIDENTIAL
How Does This Work?
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Public Law 111-5• Congress and the President.• Stimulate Economy (jobs, mortgages, unemployment
benefits, “HITECH”).• February 17, 2009 signed into law. • Only changed by Congress.
1. THE LAW
Work Groups, Staff, hold hearings to inform the proposed rule.
PAGE 15 KAREO | CONFIDENTIAL
How Does This Work?
Meaningful Use January 13, 2010 from HHS/CMS
2. THE proposed RULE
Public Comment Period ends. HHS considers comments

Why Should You Care?
• Implementing and using an EHR is a life-changing event.
• An EHR may or may not be advantageous.• Electronic records are considered ‘expensive’.• Other players may expect you to use an EHR:
– Your customers (the patient)– Your staff and peers– Hospitals, payers, etc.– Public health agencies
PAGE 19 KAREO | CONFIDENTIAL
Who May Earn the Incentive?• EP = eligible professional
– Individual physicians, not practices– Doctors, not mid-levels (some rural exceptions)– Non-hospital based plus hospital-employed physicians working in
ambulatory clinics (POS 11)
• Linked to either Medicare or Medicaid– Medicare FFS maximum = 75% of allowable charges– Medicaid fixed amounts per year provided EP meets eligibility
thresholds ( >30% for all, >20% for peds), no eligibility threshold for Medicare.
– Medicare Advantage if 80% of revenue comes from MA. If not, then MCR FFS or MCD applies
• Change incentive program once – from MCR to MCD or MCD to MCR, or MA to either MCR PFS or MCD.
PAGE 20 KAREO | CONFIDENTIAL
The Carrots• Incentive paid after the fact.• This “maximum” could be less if you
don’t bill ‘enough’ in that year.• Medicare: Demonstrate Meaningful
Use met throughout all periods. • Medicaid differences:
– Year 1: shop and implement– Year 2: demonstrate Meaningful Use
throughout years 2 through 6.– Administered by the state.– Appeal process mandatory.
PAGE 21 KAREO | CONFIDENTIAL
Maximum Available for MCR FFS Program?
MCR PFS $44,000 if MU all 5 yearsWhat time is it in “MU-Land”? Q2-2013 with $15,000 incentive available for Yr 1 if in 2013 calendar year, the EP bills at least $20,000 to original Medicare. If Y3 in 2013, then MCR must equal $10,667 to earn $8000 (75% of $10,667 = $8000).
PAGE 22 KAREO | CONFIDENTIAL
Maximum Available for MCD Program?
MCD $63,750 if MU at least 6 out of 10 years (goes out to 2021)
PAGE 23 KAREO | CONFIDENTIAL
Are You…..
In a health professional shortage area? • You may get more money.
A pediatrician with 20% to 29% Medicaid visits? • You may get less money.
Less than 80% revenue from Medicare Advantage? • You’ll need to consider MCR FFS or MCD incentives.
You were still using paper charts through 2012? • You will get less money.
Sticking with paper charts because ……? • You cannot participate in the incentive programs and beginning
2015, Medicare will pay less.

Some Timing Concepts to Remember
MU1-2014MU 2-2014
MU1-2013MU1-2012MU1-2011
2013 CY: Vendor’s
capability to permit options for
2013 with the 2011 Edition?
Is one option more advantageous for your patients and the practice? Do you KNOW what your denominator metric is? Will you be able to ‘pick’ which denominator is to your advantage?
2014 CY: Vendor’s
capability to permit options for
MU1 with the 2014 Edition?
2011 Edition Vendor’s capability is based on
MU1 as defined in IFR of July 2010.

More MU Lingo to Understand• MEASURE describes the calculation and minimum
threshold you must achieve to meet the particular Core or Menu Set Measure
• CORE or MENU SET means– Core = all are required to be met– Menu Set = you can pick, with some pre-set requirements, which
Measures in the Menu Set you will report on.
• OBJECTIVE is a description of what you need to ‘do’ with the EHR
• EXCLUSION is CMS’s ‘pass’ if something doesn’t apply to your EP and your specialty. Some MEASURES have NO Exclusions.
PAGE 29 KAREO | CONFIDENTIAL
Stage 1 (MU1) Samples
CORE MEASURE: Record smoking statusOBJECTIVE: Record smoking status for patients 13 years old or older.MEASURE: More than 50 percent of all unique patients13 years old or older seenby the EP have smoking status recorded as structured data.EXCLUSION: Any EP who sees no patients 13 years or older.
MENU SET MEASURE: Immunization Registries Data SubmissionOBJECTIVE: Capability to submit electronic data to immunization registries and actual submission according to applicable law and practice.MEASURE: Performed at least onetest of EHR’s capacity to submit electronic data to immunization registries and follow up submission if the test is successful (unless none of the registries has the capacity to receive the information electronically).EXCLUSION: An EP who administers no immunizations.
PAGE 30 KAREO | CONFIDENTIAL
Some Measures have “children” Measures (Measure 10 – Report Clinical Quality Measures to CMS – choose 6 from 44)
shaded shows CQMs for all specialties. Differences between MU1 and MU2 CQMs.

0038 Q‐CoreALT Peds Core Two‐year old Immunization Status by second birthday (nine rates)
PAGE 31 KAREO | CONFIDENTIAL
CQMs (Clinical Quality Measures)• If a CQM is found to be scientifically invalid, would
take immediate action to remove without the rulemaking process, approximately annually.
• Look for CQMs that have an NQF #. Without, may mean electronic specifications are still in development
• MU1&2: must submit numerator/denominator. No threshold required.
• MU2: must be calculated by the CEHRT and reported exactly as generated by the CEHRT, even if not all relevant data is recorded in the CEHRT
PAGE 32 KAREO | CONFIDENTIAL
CQMs, continued• MU2: must only report on CQMs that the EHR is
certified for. If not certified for NQF 0049 then EP cannot report on NQF 0049. CQM an important rule out when choosing EHR.
• The EHR Vendor will choose which CQMs it wants to be certified for (MU1 not all 44 are required for certification, minimum of 9. MU2 not all 64 are required for certification, minimum of 20)
• The CEHRT must capture, export, electronically submit accurate data elements as specified in the Certification IFR
PAGE 33 KAREO | CONFIDENTIAL 33Cardiology =1 of 11
Peds =2 of 3
OB/Gyn =3 of 7

Clarifications for MU1 in the IFR for MU2
• This IFR was effective upon publication in Federal Register: 9/4/12.
• Reaffirmed that if less than 75% of all EPs in US are meaningful users by 2015, then MCR penalties can go up to 5% (95% of full allowable PFS)
PAGE 36 KAREO | CONFIDENTIAL
Clarifications for MU1, Part 2• MU1 allowed ‘picking’ a menu option and then
taking the exclusion for that same menu option. Beginning in 2014, if still MU1, then OK to claim an exclusion but MUST pick another from the Menu options for MU1.
• Makes a clarification between Stages of MU (MU1 and MU2) and ‘edition’ of the certified EHR (2011 edition or 2014 edition)
• Clarified that for some measures, in the year 2014, the measure will be the same for MU1 and MU2
PAGE 37 KAREO | CONFIDENTIAL
Clarifications for MU1, Part 3• Leaving a ‘list’ blank does not qualify, i.e.”no
allergies”, “no medications”, “no problems/diagnoses”
• CPOE for MU1 = medication orders for ‘patients’ – the denominator was patients. Alternate denominator for MU1 year is ‘medication orders’
• Vitals for MU1 = H/W/(BMI)/BP. Alt. for 2013 MU1, option H/W/(BMI) or BP. Exclusion is if not relevant, not if you don’t have a scale or BP cuff. Ask referring provider, ask patient is OK. Ages 3 and up. Also rolled into 2014 forward.
PAGE 38 KAREO | CONFIDENTIAL
Clarifications for MU1, Part 4• Test of Exchange for MU1 = in for 2011, in for 2012,
out for 2013 of MU1 (on-going required).• If 2014 is still MU1, then ‘electronic copy to patient’
is removed and ‘timely access’ is removed. MU1 beginning in 2014 will be replaced with “view online, download, and transmit”. Means portal in 2014 for MU1 if late adopter (Yr 1 = 2013, or Yr 1 = 2014)
• Public Health Objectives (Immunizations or Syndromic Surveillance, 1 of 2 in menu set). Added “except where prohibited by law”; if not prohibited, then pick one. CMS thinks everybody ‘should’.

Some Incentive $$$ FYIs• At HIMSS Policy Summit, 9/12/2012, Dr.
Mostashari said the incentives were, basically, an entitlement program: you do, therefore you get.
• Fine print in ARRA – each year’s incentive is a maximum, not a guarantee– Sequestration (budget cuts across the board) and
SGR can impact the max

PAGE 44 KAREO | CONFIDENTIAL
Show me the $$$ (or not?)• Begins 2015 and goes from 100% PFS in 2014 to 99% in
2015, 98% in 2016, 97% in 2017.• Once a penalty is applied, you can never go back to 100%
but are stuck at that penalty level.• Applies to entire PFS, not just office encounters• If less than 75% of the US EPs are NOT MUs in 2017,
then 96% in 2018, 95% in 2019.– Hospital-based EPs are excluded from the 75%
• CMS look-back is generally two years prior, or July 1st
prior to penalty year– Avoid overpayment and refund issues with CMS systems and
banking– Avoid beneficiary over/under co-insurance issues
PAGE 45 KAREO | CONFIDENTIAL
Hardship Exemptions• Case-by-case by Secretary of HHS, max of 5
years by law, designated annual by the IFR• No exemption for EPs over 60, or for part-time
EPs• Identified Hardships in IFR
– Lack of internet (4mb), annual re-apply– Newly-practicing EP gets 2 years from EP date (changing
specialty does not count)– Scope of practice: i) no face to face w/patients or no follow-
up needed, anesthesiology, pathology, radiology in non-hospital settings (5 years), ii) 50%+ in ASC or NH w/o CEHRT, (1 year)
PAGE 46 KAREO | CONFIDENTIAL
Other Hardships Identified
• Extreme Hardships listed:– Practice closes– Hospital closes– Natural disaster that “destroys EHR”– EHR vendor out of business– EHR vendor unable to get certified for next stage– EP in a debt consolidation or bankruptcy process
• IFR recommends if anticipating any of these in 2013, apply to the Secretary in early 2013 to avoid penalty in 2015
