Avoid the 2013 Medicare eRx Penalty!
by  John CrosbyNo presence information  on 5/2/2012 4:43 PM

DOs should be aware that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is urging physicians to report on at least 10 electronic prescriptions by 6/30/12, to avoid the 2013 Medicare e-prescribing penalty. The penalty is a 1.5% reduction in total 2013 Medicare Part B payments. Physicians that are unable to meet the 10 eRx threshold are eligible to file for a hardship exemption prior to the 6/30/12 deadline. Additional information can be found on the CMS website​.
