CMS' New Medicaid EHR Incentive Program Guide for Eligible Professionals

CMS has created a new comprehensive guide, An Introduction to the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program for Eligible Professionals, to help walk EPs through all of the phases of the Medicaid program. This guide includes chapters on:
  • An overview of the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program
  • Eligibility determination
  • Registration through CMS and eligibility verification at the state level
  • Meaningful use and picking appropriate measures
  • Attestation
  • Helpful resources on the Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs
EPs can use this guide as their source for any information they need on the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program. The guide can be found on the Educational Materials section of the EHR website along with several other helpful tools and resources for participants in the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs, including the guide,  An Introduction to the Medicare EHR Incentive Program for Eligible Professionals,  that CMS previously created.
