Primary care docs can shift Medicaid mix to earn $21,250 without meeting meaningful use

Effective Jun 23, 2011
Published Jun 27, 2011

Your primary care physicians can potentially collect a $21,250 incentive check without having to meet meaningful use requirements in 2011 or 2012, under the Medicaid Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Program. The catch is that a provider’s patient mix must be 30% Medicaid to qualify for the bonus. But you can shift your Medicaid patient caseload to a one doctor, potentially boosting his Medicaid volume to 30%.
