Nationwide Authentic Nathan Peterman Jersey , physicians who treat Medicaid or Medicare patients must begin establishing
“meaningful use” of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) by 2015 or risk having their reimbursements reduced. Meaningful Use is a term that refers to a set of EMR usage requirements that qualified providers must meet in order to receive incentive payments.

The intent of Meaningful Use is to help ensure that providers using EMRs implement the software in a manner that supports higher quality and more efficient delivery of healthcare. Because physicians may not receive both Medicaid and Medicare incentives, it is important to understand the difference between Medicare and Medicaid Meaningful Use before participating.

Incentive Money

Under Medicare, the incentive amount is 75% of the physician's Medicare allowed charges for the year, up to a maximum of $44,000. Under Medicaid Authentic John Miller Jersey , it is 85% of the physician's Medicaid allowed charges up to $63,750 per year.

Incentive payments for the Medicare program are spread out over five years and for the Medicaid program over six years, with diminishing amounts available to those who start in later years. For providers in federally designated health professional shortage areas, incentive payments will be 10% greater.

Requirements to Qualify

Every Medicare eligible professional must have a National Provider Identifier (NPI) and be enrolled in the CMS Provider Enrollment, Chain and Ownership System (PECOS) to participate in the EHR incentive program. Most physicians also need to have an active user account in the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). The Medicaid EHR incentive program is offered and administered voluntarily by states and territories.

Time Frame

Medicare must complete 90 days of continuous EHR Meaningful Use within the calendar year before reporting to the government. Under the Medicaid plan Authentic Shaq Lawson Jersey , you are not required to demonstrate Meaningful Use until Year 2. The Year 1 requirement for Medicaid is demonstration of “efforts to adopt, implement, or upgrade certified EMR technology.”

Providers Who Are Eligible for Incentive Payments

In both the Medicare and Medicaid programs, physicians, podiatrists Authentic Dion Dawkins Jersey , chiropractors, optometrists and dentists are eligible for incentive payments. However, in the Medicaid program, nurse practitioners, certified nurse-midwives Authentic Zay Jones Jersey , and physicians assistants are also qualified to participate.

Penalties for Non-Participation in the ARRA Program

Unlike the Medicaid incentive program, the Medicare program incorporates penalties. The Medicare fee schedule for providers who are not "meaningful EMR users" will be reduced by 1% in 2015, by 2% in 2016 and by 3% in 2017.

+ TORONTO, March 1 (Xinhua) -- Canada's gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 1.2 percent for 2015 as a whole Authentic Kyle Williams Jersey , about half the pace seen in 2014 as business investment dwindled and exports shrank, Statistics Canada reported Tuesday.

The country's economy expanded at an annualized rate of 0.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2015, a slowdown from 2.4 percent in the third quarter but still much better than what economists had been expecting, according to Statistics Canada.

Lower final domestic demand and exports both contributed to the slower growth. Exports declined by 0.6 percent between October and December, but imports were down by almost four times that much. The falling Canadian currency was a factor in that Authentic LeSean McCoy Jersey , as Canadians became acutely aware of the Canadian dollar's diminished buying power during the period in question.

The loonie actually rallied Tuesday as growth exceeded Bay Street's low expectations, gaining a quarter of a penny to trade above the 74 U.S. cents level. Earlier it had risen even further to its highest point in three months.

The report said the 2015 reading was dragged down by a contraction of 4.8 percent in business gross fixed capital formation, a category that includes buildings, machinery and intellectual property.

The agency said the first decline after five consecutive years of increases was mostly due to a 12.7 percent drop in business investment in non-residential structures. Meanwhile, Canada's terms of trade shrank by 6.9 percent last year Authentic Tremaine Edmunds Jersey , which followed a 1.3 percent decrease in 2014.

The weak showing for December means that for 2015 as a whole, Canada's economy expanded by 1.2 percent, less than half of the 2.5 percent growth for 2014. Before that, the economy grew 2.2 percent in 2013, 1.7 percent in 2012 and 3.1 percent in 2011.

It's also exactly half as much as the U.S. economy grew by last year. .
