Timetable and Incentives

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) outlined a schedule of incentive payments based on the year an eligible provider first demonstrates the meaningful use of an electronic health record, and whether the provider has achieved the desired objective level.

Providers may qualify for either the Medicare or the Medicaid incentive program - NOT both.
