Medicare providers who did not attest to Meaningful Use by 2014 are currently facing annually-increasing reimbursement penalties on their Medicare insurance claims. This will increase by 1% every year between 2015 – 2020 and may prevent practitioners from renewing their licenses to practice or from continuing to bill Medicare claims.
Medicaid Providers are forfeiting the opportunity to receive continued incentive funding through the EHR Incentive Program by not attesting to Meaningful Use. Similar penalties assessed to Medicare providers are likely to be applied to Medicaid providers once the incentive funding ends.

Let us help you avoid penalties, collect incentives while they are still available, and get you in compliance ahead of additional hurdles and up-coming infractions.
