Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 6, March 26, 2024
An eligible professional provider or eligible hospital must attest to meeting the medicaid EHR incentive program participation requirements as a prerequisite to receiving payment. Attestation is accomplished through on-line access to the state level registry (SLR) and completion of an agreement. The agreement must be signed by the eligible professional provider or the eligible hospital and when accepted by MAD becomes part of the MAD provider participation agreement or a MAD EHR incentive payment agreement. The medicaid EHR incentive program attestation includes several elements, described in subsequent sections.
A. An eligible professional provider or eligible hospital in their first participation year under the medicaid EHR incentive program may choose to attest to adopting, implementing, or upgrading certified electronic health record (EHR) technology. Proof of A/I/U must be submitted to MAD as part of the attestation.
B. An eligible professional provider in their second through sixth participation year and an eligible hospital in their second through third, or fourth participation year must attest to meaningful use of certified EHR technology. An eligible hospital must attest to meaningful use if they are participating in both the medicare and MAD medicaid EHR incentive programs in their first participation year. The definition of "meaningful EHR user" and "meaningful use" is found in 42 CFR 495.4 and 42 CFR 495.6, respectively.
