and Attestation System is now open. Providers participating in the
Medicare EHR Incentive Program must attest to the 2016
program requirements by March 13, 2017 at 11:59 p.m.(ET), in order
to avoid a 2018 payment adjustment. The EHR reporting period was any

register with CMS by March 13, 2017, in order to begin participation in
the EHR Incentive program. First-time participants who miss the March
13 deadline, will not be able to begin participation, as 2016 was the
last year to begin participation.
First-time participants must register and attest by March
13, 2017 in order to avoid the payment adjustment in 2018.First-time
participants must register by March 13, 2017 in order to begin
participation, but the last date for Medicaid participants to attest is
March 31, 2017. Any first-time participant who bills Medicare Fee For
Service, may be subject to the payment adjustment in 2018.
