15 Key Points about the Payment Process Reduced by 2% for sequestration (now through 2024) Taxable Paid 6 to 8 weeks after attestation, after you meet the cap (75% of total allowed charges) For example, if you are due $12,000, you must have total allowed Medicare Part B charges of $16,000 Subject to pre- and post-payment audit, conducted by NJbased Figliozzi and Company May also be sent from EHR Meaningful Use Audit Team More about audits 15
16 Key Points about the Audit Process [ aka Mistakes to Avoid ] Transmitted via Review the audit request complete? limited (to one measure)? Retain documentation for 6 years Confirm that the system is tracking what you re doing If you plan to declare an exclusion, don t use the element even once during the reporting period Start tracking before you plan to report (if 90 days) Track MU reports every week Guidance/Legislation/EHRIncentivePrograms/Downloads/EHR _SupportingDocumentation_Audits.pdf 16
17 Key Points about the Audit Process Make and retain screen shots Print and store reports with date Capture physician signature, where required, on attestation Perform and document security risk analysis Maintain confirmation that your state can t accept submissions (for registries, if applicable) 17
18 Computerized Provider Order Entry Medical Assistants can perform the ordering process but CMS: Any licensed healthcare professional can enter orders... If a staff member is appropriately credentialed... Whether a staff member carries the title of medical assistant or another job title, he or she must be credentialed to perform the medical assistant services by an organization other than the employing organization.

26 Sample Core Criterion Objective: Provide patients the ability to view online, download, and transmit their health information within 4 business days of the information being available to the EP 26
27 Objective: Provide patients the ability to view online, download and transmit their health information within 4 business days of the information being available to the EP Sample Core Criterion Measure: (1) >50% of all unique patients are provided timely online access (4 business days) to their health information; and (2) >5% of all unique patients (or authorized representative) view, download, or transmit to a third party their health information* *for both measures, only patients seen by the eligible professional (EP) during the reporting period 27
28 Sample Core Criterion Objective: Use electronic messaging to communicate with patients on relevant health information 28
29 Sample Core Criterion Objective: Use electronic messaging to communicate with patients on relevant health information Measure: A secure message was sent using the electronic messaging function of CEHRT by >5% of unique patients (or their authorized representatives) seen by the EP during the EHR reporting period CEHRT: certified electronic health record technology 29
30 Sample Core Criterion Patient-driven No definition of relevant health information Can t count requests for general information or appointments Staff could also respond to the patient No requirements for a response, but quality of care and risk management dictate 30
31 Sample Core Criterion Many commenters voiced objections to the concept of providers being held accountable for patient actions we believe that EPs are in a unique position to strongly influence the technologies patients use to improve their own care -CMS 31
32 Clinical quality measures 9 measures out of 64 None are required but some are recommended Electronic submission available Alignment with existing quality programs PQRS Shared Savings Program (ACOs) NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition PQRS: Physician Quality Reporting System; ACO: accountable care organization; NCQA: National Committee for Quality Assurance CMS: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services 32
