Reimbursement cuts for eligible professionals who did not successfully attest to meaningful use in 2014 go into effect Jan. 1, 2016.

Those seeking a hardship exemption must demonstrate proof of circumstances beyond their control and outline how the circumstance “significantly impaired” their ability to attest to meaningful use.
