Would a hardship exemption save you?

Are you doing everything you can to avoid the upcoming Medicare payment adjustment for the 2015 reporting year?

Payment adjustments for the Medicare EHR Incentive Program will begin on January 1, 2015 for eligible professionals.

All you need to do is complete the hardship exception application and supporting documentation that proves demonstrating meaningful use would be a significant hardship for you.

Applications for the 2015 payment adjustments are due July 1, 2014 for eligible professionals. If approved, the exception is valid for one year.

This applies to you if you are a Medicare provider who was unable to successfully demonstrate meaningful use for 2013.

CMS has posted hardship exception applications on the EHR website for:

•Eligible professionals

•Eligible professionals submitting multiple NationalProvider Identifiers (NPIs)
