Who is an Eligible Professional within the Medicaid HIT Program?
The Medicaid HIT program expands the definition of eligible professionals to include certified nurse mid-wives, nurse practitioners and certain physician assistants. Medicaid incentive payments are for eligible professionals who are not hospital based while demonstrating meaningful use of a certified EHR-EMR/PM, and treating a patient population where 30% receive Medicaid or, 20% if the physician is a pediatrician.
