You must take action now to avoid the 1% e-prescribing (e-Rx) payment penalty in 2012 – even if you already submitted a hardship exemption for implementing electronic health records (EHRs), CMS officials tell Part B News. Remember: The deadline to get an application submitted and approved is Nov. 1, otherwise you’ll see the 1% pay hit start Jan. 1, 2012.
