Re: GAO echoes physician concerns on EMR, e-prescribing bonuses

[Guest guest]

So, do I understand that IF you comply by June 30 11 and do 10 e-scripts (and thus avoid the 1%  Mcare cuts), then that makes you INELIGIBLE  for Meaningful Use compliance and benefits? 

 

GAO echoes physician concerns on EMR, e-prescribing bonuses - Physician organizations say the misaligned Medicare incentive programs force practices to waste resources on interim electronic prescribing systems to beat a June 30 deadline.
