2013 EHR Attestation News!

The Illinois EHR Medicaid Incentive Payment Program will be launching their new attestation application, eMIPP, for 2013 attestations on Monday, November 18, 2013. To participate, the provider must be enrolled and active in Illinois Medicaid.    
Providers are required to have your assigned Federal CMS EHR registration number to access the new Illinois eMIPP system.  It is also recommended that you verify your registration information, especially the Payee Tax Identification number, prior to completing your attestation.  If a change or update is necessary to your registration information, you must correct it at the Federal CMS EHR Registration website
