Attestation for the Medicare EHR Incentive Program Begins April 18th, 2011

Attestation for the Medicare Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Program begins on April 18, 2011. In order to receive your Medicare EHR incentive payment, you must attest through CMS' web-based Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs Registration and Attestation System.
 
Today you can preview selected screenshots of the Attestation System to help you understand what the attestation process will involve. Please note that these screenshots are only examples—the final appearance and language may incorporate additional changes.  You can also download this worksheet for Eligible Professionals to log numerators and denominators as a reference during attestation.
 
CMS will release additional information about the Medicare attestation process soon, including User Guides that provide step-by-step instructions for completing attestation, and educational webinars that describe the attestation process in depth.
