How are Pediatricians and Family Physicians going to be able to participate?
If a physician does not meet the Medicaid payer mix threshold and does not accept Medicare, they will be able to apply for grants and/or loans to offset the upfront costs of the purchase of an EHR but will not be eligible for incentives as currently delineated. Additionally, the Secretary of HHS will be assessing utilization levels beginning in 2011, and if he or she believes that there is a need to offer other incentives to prompt adoption among those populations of providers, that will be addressed then.
