CMS incentive programs are not just for physicians anymore. Beginning this year, hospitals can participate in the Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Program. Federal incentive payments will be available to doctors and hospitals when they adopt certified EHR technology and demonstrate its use in ways that can improve quality, safety and effectiveness of care.
End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) facilities can participate in the ESRD Quality Incentive Program (QIP), which is designed to promote high-quality dialysis services at Medicare facilities by linking CMS payments directly to facility performance on quality measures.
Two new incentives for physicians this year are the Primary Care Incentive Payment Program for primary care providers and the Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) Surgical Incentive Payment Program designed for general surgeons.
TrailBlazer has developed a Web page dedicated to the various types of CMS incentive programs to ensure that you receive the latest information. Check out the Incentives Web page to see if your facility could benefit from the many opportunities available for additional revenue.
