Finishing 2018/Preparing for 2019 – EP2 Medicaid Meaningful Use/Promoting Interoperability Program

by SI Transformation Team | Jan 8, 2019 | EP2

Are you and your colleagues ready to attest for 2019 Medicaid Meaningful Use Stage 3 (Promoting Interoperability) and receive your $8500 incentive from CMS? Do you need help? Are you aware of the changes? The Meaningful Use program provides financial incentives to providers if they use an EHR to capture patient data, coordinate care of the patient, ePrescribe, and engage with patients via their ONC-certified EHR technology.

The Medicaid Eligible Professional Program (EP2) is a New York State Department of Health (DOH) initiative providing FREE outreach, assistance, and support services for Meaningful Use.

The good news is that if you are an eligible provider in the Buffalo/Rochester areas who has previously attested and received payment, you can receive FREE transformation services through enrollment with New York eHealth Collaborative:

In the Buffalo and Rochester areas, NYeC has selected Strategic Interests as the supporting Technical Agent to assist providers with the eight MU objectives and we are currently enrolling organizations and practices.  These free EP2 Services include:

• • Readiness Assessment
  • Project/Program Support
  • Audit Readiness and Preparation
  • HIE Connectivity

SI’s EP2/MU team of consultants has been helping hospital systems and primary care/specialist and dental practices with MU support since 2011.

To enroll or obtain more information, send an email to EP2@strategicinterests.com or visit the EP2 section of the SI website at https://strategicinterests.com/nyshealthcare/.  We’d be glad to share information by videoconference or with an in-person meeting.
