Here are three of the proposed changes.
1. Adding a Medicare payment adjustment exception for eligible professionals and eligible hospitals that demonstrate compliance with meaningful EHR use is not possible due to their technology being decertified under ONC’s Health IT Certification Program.
2. Modifying the EHR reporting period from the full calendar year to any continuous 90-day period.
3. Implementing a policy under which no payment adjustments will be made for eligible providers who conduct almost all of their professional services in an ambulatory surgery center.
CMS is requesting formal comments on these proposed changes via electronic or mail submission by June 13.
