3 Session Agenda 1. Understand the background of the Meaningful Use Regulation 2. Provide a basic definition of Meaningful Use 3. Understand the different certifications that are available and how they each relate to the Meaningful Use Regulation and the roles of different organizations in process 4. Define eligible provider for Meaningful Use: a. Medicare b. Medicaid 5. Understand financial incentives available and future fee schedule changes for physician practices not using EHR: a. Medicare b. Medicaid 6. Know the next steps for yourself as an Eligible Provider
4 Suggestions from our Meaningful Use Eligible Provider Pilot Team During the journey upon which you are embarking to embrace the meaningful use requirements, it is vital to understand the eventual goal will be to meet all of these requirements 100% of the time. Meaningful use will result in better care for our patients, but the documentation of this care is not easy to attribute to an individual provider, make it a team effort. CareTracker, like many EHR applications, includes a patient record. This record may cross multiple providers in a single company; the record may contain both billing and clinical components; and it may be used by different providers and clinical users. In order to ensure your practice meets the thresholds put forth in this regulation you, as the leader in your practice, need to ensure that that all users in your practice understand not only their responsibilities, but also how their role can impact measurements across the entire practice. Get everyone involved; put together a team and make these trainings mandatory for all providers and clinical users to ensure success! (Paraphrased from several of the providers assisting with this project)
5 Background American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 signed by President Obama on February 17, 2009 New law provides many opportunities to the Department of Health and Human Services, its partner agencies and the States to improve health care through health information technology (Title XIII, Division A and Title IV, Division B) This includes the promotion of the meaningful use of electronic health records through incentives Copy of the Meaningful Use Final Rule can be found at: An overview of the incentive programs and useful downloads can be located at: Medicare recently published a friendly tool that also explains each requirement and it is located at: Core-and-MenuSet-Objectives.pdf
6 Basic Requirements for Meaningful Use Use a certified EHR technology in a meaningful manner The certified EHR technology is connected in a manner that provides for the electronic exchange of health information to improve the quality of care Physicians using certified EHR technology submit information on clinical quality measures and other selected measures Specifically for Ambulatory Physician Offices the Final Rule outlines 15 Core Requirements (must meet all) and 10 Menu Set Requirements (choose 5 of 10 to meet) for which the eligible provider must provide documentation or attestation for meaningful use How to meet each of these requirements will be detailed in three additional CareTracker Recorded Training Sessions: Session Two: Core Requirements Session Three: Menu Set Requirements Session Four: KPI Reports and MU Dashboard

8 The Menu Set Requirements Final Regulation
9 Information About Certification Health Information Technology (HIT): Tasked to and developed an initial Set of Standards, Implementation Specifications, and Certification Criteria for EHR Technology interim final rule (45 CFR Part 170) was published on January 13, 2010; a final rule was published July 20, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been appointed by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology to develop the standards, implementation specifications, and certification criteria for EHR technology. The testing standards were published on August 13, Certification Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT) was founded in 2004 and established the first comprehensive process to test and certify EHR technology, and in September CCHIT was named as one of three certifying bodies for ARRA Meaningful Use. The other certifiers are Drummond Group and InfoGard. CCHIT Comprehensive certification currently exists for 2006, 2007, 2008 and Ingenix CareTracker Version 7 is CCHIT Certified 2011 for Ambulatory EHR. CareTracker is also ONC-ATCB Certified 2011/2012 (Meaningful Use).

12 Who is an Eligible Provider for Medicaid?
13 Flow Chart to Eligibility for EHR Incentive Access this URL to download a tool from CMS:
14 The Incentives for Eligible Professionals Incentives to be distributed through Medicare Fee for Service, Medicare Advantage, and Medicaid programs Eligible providers (EPs) may only receive incentives through one program EPs will be allowed to make single one time switch between programs during the incentive program timeframe (Medicare ; Medicaid ) If an EP acts on this one time switch he/she would continue in the next program at whichever payment year they would have attained had they chosen not to switch Subject to a maximum financial incentive cap of $63,750
15 The Incentives - Medicare Payment year #1: demonstration of Meaningful Use during any continuous 90-day period within the year will qualify for the full annual incentive maximum Payment year #2-4: demonstration of Meaningful Use must be as of January 1 st to receive credit for the entire reporting year with no prorating Payments will be made as soon as Eligible Professionals ascertain Meaningful Use and will be in the form of a lump sum Medicare Eligible Professionals participating are entitled to an incentive payment amount, subject to an annual limit, equal to 75% of the Secretary s estimate of the Medicare allowed charges for covered professional services furnished by the EP during the relevant payment year Eligible Professionals providing services mostly in health professional shortage areas (HPSA) will have their incentive payments increased by 10% for each payment year No payments will be made after 2016
16 Medicare Maximum Incentive Payments by Calendar Year Final Rule Change Note: Calendar year 1 = $18,000 (*only if the EP s first payment year is 2011 or 2012); if not $15,000 to begin in 2013, $12,000 to begin in 2014.
17 The Incentives Medicaid EPs Incentive Payments To qualify for Medicaid incentive payments, Medicaid eligible professionals must adopt, implement, upgrade or demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology in the first year of participation. Medicaid EPs must demonstrate meaningful use in years 2-6 of participation. For calendar years , EPs can receive up to $63,750 over 6 years under the Medicaid EHR incentive program. Incentive payments are made by the State based on the calendar year and will be available for no more than a 6-year period. EPs under Medicaid may only receive incentive funding from one state in any payment year.
18 Medicaid Maximum Incentive Payments by Calendar Year
19 The Incentive Limitations Question: Does an eligible provider qualify for the Medicare eprescribing Incentive monies if they are applying for EHR Meaningful Use based on being a qualified Medicare or qualified Medicaid provider? Final Regulation Answers: If you participate as a Medicare EP, you cannot receive incentive payments from both the Medicare EHR incentive program and the e-prescribing program in the same year. If you participate as a Medicaid EP, you may participate in both the Medicaid EHR incentive program and the e-prescribing program at the same time, as long as you meet the eligibility requirements for both programs. If you want to participate in the Medicare EHR incentive program AND are currently participating in the e-prescribing incentive program, you need to decide which incentive program you want to participate. The e-prescribing incentive program is based on allowable submitted charges during the reporting period, while the EHR incentive program provides a determined incentive payment if the requirements of the program are met. For most, the EHR incentive program will provide the greater monetary value. (
20 The Incentive Limitations Question: Does an eligible provider (EP) qualify for the PQRI Incentive monies if they are applying for EHR Meaningful Use based on being a qualified Medicare provider? Medicaid provider? Answers: As the HITECH Act does not specify any other restrictions on participation in other programs and participation in the Medicare and Medicaid EHR incentive programs, we do not propose any other restrictions. (page 130 of 276 Final Regulation) There may be opportunities to avoid duplication of reporting requirements among our various programs. In section II.A.3. of this final rule, we discuss how we will avoid duplication of reporting requirements for clinical quality measures. (page 130 of 276 Final Regulation)
21 Payment Adjustments for the Future Medicare: Fee schedule amount will be reduced by 1% in 2015, by 2% in 2016, by 3% in 2017, and by 3 5% in subsequent years If the Secretary finds in 2018 that the amount of eligible professionals who are meaningful EHR users is less than 75%, then the adjustments will increase by 1% each year, but not more than 5% overall Medicaid: No fee schedules reductions noted in Final Regulation If an EP first applies for the Medicaid EHR Incentive in 2016 (the latest you may begin) your Medicare fee schedule will be impacted by 1% in 2015 as you would not have applied for meaningful use until 2016.
22 The Three Stages of Meaningful Use Stage 1- effective for : Electronically capturing health information in a coded format Use electronically captured health information to track key clinical conditions and communicating information for care coordination purposes Implementing clinical decision support tools to facilitate disease and medication management Reporting information for quality improvement and public health information Stage 2 effective for : Expand upon Stage 1 criteria to encourage the use of health IT for continuous quality improvement at the point of care and the exchange of health information in the most structured format possible Stage 3 effective for 2015+: Focus on promoting improvements in quality, safety and efficiency Focus on clinical decision support for national high priority conditions Patient access to self management tools Improving population health
23 The Next Steps for an Eligible Professional Using CareTracker EHR 1. Decide if you, as an Eligible Provider, plan to apply for Medicare or Medicaid Incentive funding 2. Define those users / staff members in your practice who must participate in meeting the requirements that will be reviewed in detail in the next training sessions 3.
