The Medicaid Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Program launched in Pennsylvania and Washington. This means that eligible professionals (EPs) and eligible hospitals in Pennsylvania and Washington will be able to complete their incentive program registration at the state level and receive incentive payments. More information about the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program can be found on the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Program Basics page of the CMS EHR website.
If you are a resident of Pennsylvania or Washington and are eligible to participate in the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program, visit your State Medicaid Agency website for more information on your state's participation in the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program:
Seventeen states have launched Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs, and 14 states have issued incentive payments to Medicaid eligible professionals and eligible hospitals who have adopted, implemented, or upgraded certified EHR technology. CMS looks forward to announcing the launches of additional states' programs in the coming months.
