Attestation Resources
The
EHR Incentive Programs attestation system will be open from Jan.
3 - Feb. 28, 2017. Providers must attest by the attestation
deadline to avoid a 2018 payment adjustment.
To help providers prepare for the 2016 EHR Incentive
Programs attestation period, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) has released two attestation worksheets for eligible
professionals and eligible
hospitals and critical access hospitals. Providers can log
their meaningful use measures for each objective in the worksheet and
use it as a reference when attesting for the 2016 Medicare EHR
Incentive Program in CMS' Registration
and Attestation System.
For more information, CMS encourages providers to visit the CMS
2016 Program Requirements webpage on the CMS website to
access the worksheets and review additional resources for 2016 EHR
Incentive Program participation.
Online Tool for Quality Payment

Reporting System (PQRS) in 2015 including: Individual eligible
professionals; Comprehensive Primary Care practice sites; PQRS group
