MU: It is not too late to get incentive money in the Medicaid EHR Program
April 5, 2016
Written by Patty Kosednar
The last year that an eligible professional can begin participation is 2016. Medicaid Expansion has increased the number of Medicaid enrolled patients which in some circumstances could make more providers eligible for the Medicaid EHR incentive payments. The incentive program ends in 2021.
The Medicaid EHR Incentive Payments can total up to $63,750 over 6 years. To earn the maximum incentive, a provider will need to meet and attest to meaningful use consistently for the next 6 years.
Medicaid will allow providers to skip a year, but there are only 6 years left to the Medicaid Incentive program. Click Medicaid and Medicare EHR Incentive Program Basics, and scroll to the bottom of the page for information on the Medicaid EHR Program.

Where do I find out if our CAH is eligible to file for the Medicaid EHR incentive program? I have been given the task of filing the MU attestation this year. I did not think we were eligible, but when I looked on a CMS report it looks like we have filed in the past.
