ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS: Number and Characteristics of Providers Awarded Medicare Incentive Payments for 2011-2012
Note: We analyzed data CMS collects pertaining to the Medicare EHR program through July 2, 2013. The amount of the incentive payment for 2011 and 2012 cannot exceed $18,000 for most professionals or $19,800 for professionals who practice predominately in a health professional shortage area. The 2012 figure does not include the 10 percent additional payments for professionals who practice predominately in a health professional shortage area because CMS had not disbursed those payments as of the date of our analysis. Payment years are determined and awarded on a calendar year basis for professionals.
