10 1. Introduction The document provides instructions for Eligible Hospitals (EH) who are attesting for Adopt, Implement or Upgrade (AIU) or Meaningful Use (MU) Stage 1 and Stage 2 for calendar year (CY) The instructions will provide designation between Stage 1 and Stage 2 attestation rules. Stage 1 Attestation definition: An EH that is demonstrating MU for the first time. An EH that is completing the second year of attestation after demonstrating AIU. Stage 2 Attestation definition: An EH that has successfully completed two attestations and received two payment for MU Stage 1. CMS defines the stages as: Stage 1 sets the baseline for electronic data capture and information sharing. Eligible hospitals (EHs) must receive two EHR Incentive Program payments for meeting these requirements before moving on to Stage 2. Stage 2 meaningful use requirements were formalized in federal regulations in September of 2012, focuses on advanced clinical procedures, including: Measures focused on more rigorous health information exchange (HIE); Additional requirements for e-prescribing and incorporating lab results; Electronic transmission of patient care summaries across multiple settings; and Increased patient and family engagement. Stage 3 meaningful use requirements were formalized in federal regulations effective in December 2015, focused on the following goals: Provide a flexible, clear framework to simplify the meaningful use program and reduce provider burden; Ensure future sustainability of Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs; Advance the use of health IT to promote health information exchange and improved outcomes for patients Meaningful use attestations are not evaluated solely for meeting meaningful use objectives and reporting clinical quality measure information. A hospital must also be either actively enrolled with Medicaid as an acute care hospital (including critical access hospitals or cancer hospitals) and meet a 10% Medicaid patient volume threshold or be a children s hospital to be eligible for Medicaid EHR Incentive Program payments. The Stage 1 and Stage 2 meaningful use requirements were modified in the federal regulations that were released in effective December 2015, for Stage 3. The changes are summarized as follows: Confidential and Proprietary Page 10

11 EHR Reporting Period For 2015 EHs will attest using the calendar year rather than fiscal year for the Certified Electronic Health Record Technology (CEHRT) reporting period. The EHR reporting period is any continuous 90-day period within the calendar year. For 2016 and beyond, For first time participants or first year of demonstrating Meaningful Use, the reporting period would be any continuous 90-day period within the calendar year. Returning participants that have successfully demonstrated meaningful use in a prior year, the reporting period would be a full calendar year. Last Year for Eligible Hospitals to Begin Participation and Receive Payments in the Medicaid and Medicare EHR Incentive Program. CMS released an announcement on February 11, 2015 for eligible hospitals who have not started participation in the EHR Incentive Programs. For the Medicare EHR Incentive Program, the last year to begin and still earn incentive payments is FY2015. For the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program, the last year to begin and still earn incentive payments is FY2016. Medicaid eligible hospitals must receive an incentive in FY2016 to receive an incentive in FY2017 and later years. Starting in FY2016, incentive payments must be made every year in order to continue participation in the program. Dual-Eligible Hospital Attestations For EH that are attesting as dual-eligible hospital, meaningful use information from Medicare will be exchanged between CMS Medicare attestation process and the West Virginia EHR Incentive program application. The West Virginia EHR Incentive program will insert the meaningful use information into the meaningful use screens. The application user will be able to review and modified as needed. The attestation process is halted until the Medicare MU information is received from CMS Medicare attestation process EH Meaningful Use Requirement There are a total of 9 meaningful use objectives. The following requirements must be met to qualify for the incentive payment. Core Objectives EP must complete 8 core objectives Public Health Reporting Objectives (multiple options) EP must attest to two Public Health question Clinical Quality Measures EP must report on 16 of 29 CQM Confidential and Proprietary Page 11

12 1.1 Eligible Hospitals To be eligible for the West Virginia EHR Incentive Program, a hospital must be actively enrolled with West Virginia Medicaid and fall into one of the following categories: Acute Care Hospitals Includes general hospitals, cancer hospitals and critical access hospitals; Must have a CMS Certification Number (CCN) with the last four digits in the series and ; Must have an average length of patient stay of 25 days or fewer; Must have 10% Medicaid patient volume based on encounters. Children s Hospitals Must have a CMS Certification Number (CCN) with the last four digits in the series ; No average length of stay or patient volume requirements 1.2 Registering with CMS If you have submitted an attestation, you do not need to register with CMS. Your attestation will be ready when WV EHR Incentive Program Attestation Application opens up the attestation period. If you are a new user and have not submitted an attestation, prior to participating in the Medicaid EHR Incentive program, an eligible hospital first must be registered for the EHR Incentive Program within the CMS National Level Repository (NLR) system to sign up for the program at the national level and must select either Medicaid or dual-eligible. This will enable the CMS NLR solution to notify the Medicaid EHR Incentive Payment application of the hospital s intent to attest for incentive payment. Visit the National Level Repository (NLR) solution at to register. Once the hospital has successfully registered with the CMS NLR for the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program, the hospital must complete the attestation for the year with the Medicaid EHR Incentive Payment solution available by logging into the secure Medicaid Provider web portal after waiting at minimum 48 hours for incentive registration to be processed and be received by Medicaid EHR Incentive program application from the NLR. Hospitals who do not have access to the web portal can request access via an online form at Confidential and Proprietary Page 12

13 2. Information Needed Before a hospital can begin to complete a West Virginia EHR Incentive Program attestation, the hospital will need to gather all of the information necessary to complete the attestation correctly. The West Virginia EHR Incentive Program has created a workbook to guide the hospital user through the data needed to complete an attestation successfully. The workbook is available in Excel format within the WVMMIS Provider Portal at The Eligible Hospital Workbook provides the questions CMS requires for their registration process and that the EHR Incentive Program Attestation Application requires for West Virginia s attestation process. The Workbook can be used to gather answers before logging in to the EHR Incentive Program Attestation Application. Confidential and Proprietary Page 13

14 2.1 Eligible Hospital Attestation Workbook - Overview The Workbook describes the eligibility requirements, the meaningful use core and menu measures, and the clinical quality measures for eligible hospitals and web requirements for utilizing the West Virginia EHR Incentive Program Attestation Application. It can also hold your responses before accessing the application. A sample page from the workbook is below; the full version is available at the West Virginia Medicaid EHR Incentive Program website ( Figure 1 - Example Workbook Page Confidential and Proprietary Page 14

15 3. Required Supporting Documentation CMS and BMS recommend documentation supporting hospital attestations be retained in case of audit. Hospitals must maintain records in accordance with Federal regulations for a period of 5 years, or 3 years after audits. The hospital must make all records and documentation available upon request to West Virginia BMS, the United States Department of Health and Human Services, or contracted entities acting on their behalf. Such records and documentation should include, but not be limited to, the following: Hospital Information (credentials) Identification of Service Sites Supporting material used to measure Medicaid patient volume (including Excel spreadsheets or any other report identifying discharge dates and emergency department information used to count patient encounters.) Invoices, lease agreements, contract or other documentation supporting adoption, implementation, or upgrading of ONC-certified EHR technology EHR reports supporting meaningful use objective and clinical quality measure information. Please review BMS requirements and applicable provider manuals for the specific service requirements, retention periods, and lists. Out of State Documentation If the hospital plans to include encounter counts from another state (this is optional), the following documentation is required in an electronic format (pdf, Microsoft Word or Excel, or jpeg) and will need to be included with the electronic attestation: Certification on official letterhead from the other state Medicaid agency or agencies declaring the numbers obtained were derived from the State s MMIS and are accurate. Report generated by the other state Medicaid agency or agencies with the total fee-forservice and managed care encounter count and reporting period. Confidential and Proprietary Page 15

16 4. Finding EHR Certification Number The Office of the National Coordinator Authorized Testing and Certification Body (ONC- ATCB) tests and certifies electronic health record (EHR) systems. If the EHR system is approved ONC-ATCB, it is assigned a certification number. The website below is the Certified Health IT Product List website that can be used to find an EHR certification number or even to register an EHR system. Figure 2 - CMS ONC Certified EHR Product Screen Confidential and Proprietary Page 16

17 5. Selecting Cost Reports If your hospital is choosing to use its Medicare cost reports to complete its West Virginia EHR Incentive Program overall payment calculation, it is imperative that the appropriate cost reports are selected. The Eligible Hospital Attestation Workbook provides the location of the Medicare cost report data elements that are needed to complete a payment calculation. Please be aware that 42 CFR (g)(1)(i) (B) states that the discharge-related data amount must be calculated using a twelve month period that ends in the hospital s fiscal year before the federal fiscal year that serves as the first payment year. To assist hospitals in determining the correct cost reporting period(s) to utilize in entering discharge and Medicaid share data used in calculating the facility s overall Medicaid EHR Incentive Program payment, the following reference is provided. STEP 1: Enter the current federal fiscal year in which you are applying (If applying prior to 9/30/11 enter FY2011: if applying on or after 10/1/11 enter FY2012.) STEP 2: Subtract from the date entered in Step 1, one fiscal year (Assuming FFY 2011 is entered, the date entered would be FFY 2010) STEP 3: Select the year end cost report that falls within the FFY identified in Step 2 a. If Hospital A YE = 12/31; Hospital A must report discharge and Medicaid share data using the cost report ending 12/31/2009 b. If Hospital B YE = 6/30; Hospital B must report discharge and Medicaid share data using the cost report ending 6/30/2010 c. If Hospital C YE = 9/30; Hospital C must report discharge and Medicaid share data using the cost report ending 9/30/2010 Confidential and Proprietary Page 17

The registration ID is still available for the user to reassign by executing the add registration steps described in section The data that was entered is saved. NOTE: If someone else also registered the provider, the data that was entered by this user will display. 8.3 Pre-Attestation Eligibility Checks Figure 22 - Registration Tab Remove Option Pre-attestation eligibility checks are executed by the application prior to starting a new attestation year. These pre-attestation eligibility checks will verify that the hospital is still eligible to attest. Enrollment Check West Virginia Medicaid for both the 90 day period used to establish the facility s Medicaid patient volume and for the certified EHR technology attestation period - the date of adoption, implementation, or upgrade for year 1 payments, the 90 day meaningful use period for year 2 payments, and the entire federal fiscal year for year 3 payments. Provider Type Specialty Check the application will verify that the EP is enrolled with West Virginia Medicaid as an Acute Care, Critical Access, or Children s Hospital. The hospital must meet the system s preliminary eligibility checks in order to continue on to the attestation screens. If these checks are not met, the hospital is considered ineligible for West Virginia EHR Incentive program payments. The EHR Incentive Program Attestation Application will send the CMS NLR the hospital s preliminary eligibility status and will also send an to the address entered into the NLR indicating the status of the hospital s Confidential and Proprietary Page 36

37 registration and whether the hospital can begin the attestation process. If the hospital is determined to be ineligible for the West Virginia EHR Incentive Program, the will contain the eligibility checks that were not met and information on contacting the Medicaid Provider Services Help Desk if there are questions or concerns about this determination. If the EHR Incentive Program Attestation Application finds the hospital ineligible, the user will not be able to add the registration for the ineligible hospital to the application or proceed to the attestation screens. At this point, West Virginia Provider Services representatives will have the ability to review and determine if the eligibility determination for the hospital is valid; these representatives may be contacted at (888) between the hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM. The hospital will then work with the representative via phone/ regarding the registration s eligibility status and the provider may be asked to resubmit the registration with the NLR in order to begin the attestation process. Depending on the situation, the Provider Services representative may also be able to override the system and manually approve the provider s eligibility, allowing it to move on to the attestation process. 8.4 Attestation The provider will select the registration and continue with populating the provider s attestation for that year. The Attestation Application will walk the eligible hospital through a series of screens with a questionnaire on Medicaid population, and meaningful use and clinical quality measure questions. The provider must complete these questions in order to proceed with submitting an attestation and potentially receiving payment. The attestation workflow consists of the following topics. The application will guide the user through the topics. Therefore, topics do not become active until the prerequisite topic is completed. Each topic will be addressed. Verify Registration Information Verify that the provider information is accurate and not from another provider Ability to indicate proxy usage Eligibility Screens These screens walk the provider through the attestation specific eligibility questions that must be completed to be validated as an eligible provider for the Incentive Program These screens include: Questions on hospital Medicaid volume Payment Screen Displays the payment amounts calculated during year 1 attestation.

Select Previous Page if an incorrect registration ID was selected or if the user needs to return to the Attestations Instructions page or select the Attestation tab Attestation Eligibility When the facility representative selects the organization s registration number and continues with the attestation portion of the West Virginia EHR Incentive Program attestation process, the Attestation Application presents the user with a series of screens to complete the hospital s eligibility check and gather the appropriate data needed to calculate the hospital's overall West Virginia EHR Incentive Program payment Eligibility Screen 1 Volume Check The purpose of this screen is to determine if facility's Medicaid patient volume meets the threshold necessary to be eligible for a West Virginia EHR Incentive Program payment. In order to be eligible for the West Virginia EHR Incentive Program the hospital must meet one of the following: CAH or Acute Care Hospitals with at least 10% Medicaid (Title XIX only) patient volume Children s hospitals regardless of Medicaid patient volume The West Virginia EHR Incentive Program defines a hospital encounter as: An unduplicated count of Medicaid (Title XIX only) encounters for the provider in a selected 90 day period from the federal fiscal year (calendar year in 2015) preceding the attestation year. An encounter for a hospital is defined as services rendered to an individual per inpatient discharge AND services rendered to an individual in an emergency department on any one day where the individual receiving services was Medicaid-eligible on the date the service was rendered. In the Stage 2 Final Rule, the Medicaid encounter definition was expanded to include unpaid encounters or any service rendered on any one day to an individual enrolled in a Medicaid program. It also includes encounters for individuals enrolled in Medicaid and the provider either did not bill or did not receive payment from Medicaid for the services provided. For example, encounters with Medicare/Medicaid dual eligibles where Medicare paid for the entire cost of the service provided or the service was not covered under Medicaid. Confidential and Proprietary Page 42

43 In other words, an eligible hospital should count the following as a patient encounter: One to many claims for the same patient where the claim has the same date of service and the same rendering/attending provider. All claims related to the actual encounter with the patient for the same date and same provider. The West Virginia EHR Incentive Program Attestation Application includes a calculation to derive the number of unduplicated encounters for a provider by reviewing all Medicaid paid and reversed claims for the provider within the WVMMIS for the selected 90 day patient volume period. The West Virginia EHR Incentive Program Attestation Application will run a report from the MMIS to validate the fee-for-service claim and managed care encounter count entered by the facility. If the hospital has significant Medicaid encounters from other state Medicaid agencies, then it may optionally add these to its in-state encounter count to meet the required encounter volume. The Volume page provides functionality to add and maintain out-of-state (OOS) volume counts. When an attestation with OOS entries is submitted, the attestation will be placed in a Pend status once the in-state volume counts are validated. West Virginia EHR Incentive Program staff will review the attestation to ensure the appropriate documentation was provided and also to review the documentation to determine if the attestation will be accepted or rejected. The hospital must obtain their encounter counts from the other state(s) MMIS and be prepared to submit the following documentation: Certification on official letterhead from the other state Medicaid agency declaring the numbers obtained were derived from the state s MMIS and are accurate. Report generated by the state Medicaid agency with the total fee-for-service and managed care encounter count and reporting period. Confidential and Proprietary Page 43
