Follow on Google News | MD-IT Offers Easy Path to Earn Medicare ePrescribing Incentives, Avoid Payment ReductionsProviders can avoid CMS penalty with easy-to-use eRx on the MD-IT Platform
By: Steve Howorko Under Medicare’s Electronic Prescribing (eRx) Incentive Program, physicians and other providers with prescribing authority must use eRx software to write prescriptions for a minimum number of Medicare patient visits. Providers who ePrescribe and report it on a Medicare claims form can increase Medicare revenues by 1 percent in 2011 while avoiding payment reductions of 1 percent in 2012 and 1.5 percent in 2013. “We want to get the word out to as many providers as possible that you need to participate in the eRx program this year in order to avoid Medicare payment reductions in 2012 and 2013,” noted Robin Daigh, vice president at MD-IT. “We see many physician practices that are aware of the Medicare penalties for EMR use that take effect in 2015, but have no idea that an equivalent payment reduction is in store for 2012 if they don’t use ePrescribing by June 30th of this year.” MD IT offers free written materials and webinars to help physician practices learn about the Medicare eRx Incentive Program at http://www.md- About MD-IT MD IT is a medical documentation company with an innovative delivery model that combines the best of EMR software and transcription services.
