This quarter, HCA reported $30 million in EHR incentive income, down from $39 million during Q1 2013. UHS brought in $430,000, a significant drop from the $4.7 million received during the same period last year.
This is consistent with the general slow start to EHR incentive payments this year. As of March, CMS had given incentives to just nine hospitals in 2014, compared with the 3,816 hospitals paid during 2013.
