Attestation for Meaningful Use to Begin in April

Attestation for the Medicare electronic health record incentive program is set to begin on April 18, 2011, according to a Health Data Management news report.

In order to receive incentive payments under the Medicare EHR program, eligible professional and hospitals must attest meaningful use through CMS' registration and attestation portal. CMS has provided screenshots to help eligible providers better understand the Medicare attestation process. CMS will provide additional information, including User Guides for step-by-step instruction, in the near future.

Dates for when eligible providers can begin attesting for the Medicaid EHR incentive program varies by state. More information can be found on individual state Medicaid websites.
