Physician practices must meet 20 EHR requirements to earn bonus

Effective Jul 8, 2010
Published Jul 8, 2010

CMS has softened the meaningful use requirements you must meet to earn $44,000 from the electronic health record (EHR) incentive program. The biggest change in the final rule is the reduction of meaningful use requirements you must meet in order to earn incentives. During the first stage of the program, you will need to satisfy 20 of the 25 meaningful use requirements. Fifteen of those standards will be core requirements for the program and you will select five others from a menu of 10 in order to qualify for the bonus.
