Can an eligible professional qualify for multiple incentive programs through the ARRA?
An eligible professional (EP) may be qualified for multiple programs through the ARRA, but they are only able to receive incentive dollars through one of the programs and must notify CMS of their preference. This makes it important for an EP to analyze their current patient encounters and eligible charges to select the appropriate program for their practice. EPs can switch between the two programs just once and only after receiving at least one incentive payment. The switch also needs to be completed prior to the 2015 payment year and the EP is limited to receiving, in total, the maximum payments under the Medicaid EHR program ($63,750).
