Meaningful Use / Promoting Interoperability Services
Specialists to Manage Promoting Interoperability for Your Practice.
Helping hospital & physician clients gain compliance with Meaningful Use Stage 2 Objective is Eagle Consulting Partner’s specialty.
Meaningful Use and Promoting Interoperability. The “Meaningful Use” programs were originally designed to reward providers for implementing electronic health records systems. One of these programs is the Physician Medicaid program. This particular program rewards qualifying physicians $21,250 for the first year and 8,500 for subsequent years up to six years ($63,750 total).
While the Physician Medicare Program under the Meaningful Use program was consolidated under the MIPS program, the Physician Medicaid program remained under the Meaningful Use program. In May 2018, the “Meaningful Use” program was renamed “Promoting Interoperability”. Although the “Meaningful Use” program has changed its name, the Physician Medicaid program under it is still in effect, and its rules have stayed the same.
Eagle Consulting has helped clients with the Meaningful Use / Promoting Interoperability program since it began in 2011, and continues helping clients to this day.
