INCENTIVE: HSS received $21,250 from the Illinois EHR Medicaid Incentive Payment Program (eMIPP) on January 10, 2014. These dollars will be used to upgrade CIS (our billing software) and our computer network in general. We may be eligible for funds in years two thru six at $8,500 each for a grand total over the six years of $63,750. For added details, you can read an excerpt from the HFS website: “The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has implemented, through provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), incentive payments to eligible professionals (EP) and eligible hospitals (EH), including critical access hospitals (CAHs), participating in Medicare and Medicaid programs that are meaningful users of certified Electronic Health Record (EHR) technology. The incentive payments are not a reimbursement, but are intended to encourage EPs and EHs to adopt, implement, or upgrade certified EHR technology and use it in a meaningful manner. The Illinois EHR Medicaid Incentive Program (eMIPP) will provide incentive payments to eligible professionals, eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs) as they adopt, implement, upgrade or demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology.”
