CMS Offering Eligible Professional Training for Incentive Programs


A couple of weeks ago, at the Focus Group sessions, we mentioned how much information CMS is offering to you (and in how many ways) about the changes coming down from the Federal Government.  This is valuable information that affects your office and your ability to get reimbursement; especially if you are after the elusive ARRA stimulus funds being offered (you know that $44,000 they are waving before you beginning next year).

The changes have been coming fast and flooding over the nation as they finally define the terms, conditions, and options that are going to be placed before you.  CMS just announced a free conference, next week 8/10, for you:

"The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) invites you to join us for a national provider call addressing the specifics of the Medicare and Medicaid EHR incentive programs for Eligible Professionals. If you are an individual practitioner, this FREE session will help you learn the details of the programs that specifically pertain to you – eligibility, payment, what you need to register, time-line, and meaningful use reporting."  

Here is a link to a PDF of the complete e-mail I received from them.  Fortunately it looks like the links still work in the pdf.  So, definitely sign up... Then I would love to get some comments back from you on the good, bad, and what you think of things after the training session.
