EHR Incentive Program Changes
| CMS is proposing to allow eligible hospitals that are not yet meaningful users to have all of CY2019 to complete their respective 90-day EHR reporting period for FY2020. Similarly, CMS is proposing that the EHR reporting period be a minimum of any continuous 90-day period in CY2021 for both new and returning participants. CMS is also proposing to remove the Verify Opioid Treatment Agreement “bonus” measure beginning in CY2020 from the program due to implementation challenges and the burden on providers.
