Happy birthday to the EHR Incentive Program

CMS’ Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Program turned one year old earlier this month, and CMS celebrated the milestone by showing off a few statistics on the success of the program as well as introducing some tools for eligible providers.

Among the stats:

  • Forty-three states started Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs.
  • More than 176,000 individuals have registered for either Medicare or Medicaid incentive programs.
  • CMS has paid a combined $2.5 billion in incentive payments to participants, which include eligible professionals, eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals.

CMS has also created a beginners’ guide to the Medicare incentive program, available here, more advanced educational materials on the program here and a Youtube channel with provider testimonial videos here.
