What is Meaningful Use?

The Stimulus Bill is a golden opportunity for physicians to get paid to realize the full benefits of a modern EHR system. 

The Stimulus Bill should help provide most physicians in the United States with an electronic health record system at ZERO net cost to the physician. 

For some, the incentive payment is enough to cover the cost of a top-of- the line EHR system while producing a “surplus” of $20,000 - $55,000. The opportunity presented by the bill to the American Physician is substantial.

Reading the 267 pages of the HITECH section of the bill can by tedious and time consuming.

In short, the Bill provides that qualified physicians who utilize a certified electronic health record in a “meaningful” way will receive incentive payments through additional reimbursements via either Medicare or Medicaid, depending upon the individual physician’s payor mix.
