Eligible professionals (EPs) who participated in the 2012 EHR Incentive Program must attest by February 28, 2013, to receive their Medicare incentive payments.  EPs may access the CMS website to register or attest for the Medicare and/or Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs by clicking here.  Also available on the website are links to helpful attestation worksheets to make attestation easier and a meaningful use attestation calculator to assist EPs with ensuring that they have met all of the meaningful use requirements.  For Medicaid EPs, the CMS website also provides a link to information about each state’s Medicaid EHR Incentive Program, such as when registration will be available and when attestations will be accepted.
