For procrastinators sweating the 2/28/15 deadline: CMS Extends EHR Attestation Deadline for EPs to March 20.

From the horse’s mouth, see this.

Thx fsgl for keeping the community up on these matters.

Any idea what Healthdata means by “CMS emphasized that the Medicare extension does not affect deadlines for the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program”?

Short version, if you don’t know the difference between the MediCARE and MedicAID programs then you are most likely participating in the MediCARE program.

To qualify for the MedicAID program a certain percentage of patients need to be low income patients that have MedicAID. The incentive payments under the MedicAID program are higher than for Medicare.

Not sure about the language, but can assure you that I am being docked
2% per claim, by Medicare.
