HCPF has formally released their Registration and Attestation system and website. This will allow any eligible professional or hospital who qualifies for the Medicaid EHR Incentive to register and then attest for the first payment year.
As you know, the first payment year is based on “AIU” or if you have acquired, implemented, or upgraded to a Certified EHR.
For REC participants working with CRHC, we have most likely been discussing the timing of your registration and attestation and is prepared to assist you in the process. We are in the process of learning how the registration and attestation system works-we should be ready to assist qualified clinics/hospitals by the end of this week.
To view the R&A site, click here. It has some very valuable tools that will help you determine eligibility and a checklist of the items you'll need to prepare before Registration.
If you qualify for Medicaid and have previously registered for incentives on the CMS site, please be sure that you register for the Medicaid incentive (many of you registered last year when the CMS site only offered one option-Medicare). It takes 24 hours for the change (or if you are a hospital, adding Medicaid along with Medicare) on the CMS registration site to pass through to the HCPF site.
