EHR Incentive Calculator

The Medicare incentive payment program begins on January 1, 2011 for non-hospital-based physicians demonstrating meaningful use of certified EHR technology. Physicians as defined in Section 1861 of the Social Security Act include doctors of medicine, osteopathy, dental surgery, dental medicine, podiatry, and optometry; and chiropractors. Incentives are available per physician. The amount of incentive payment you receive is based on the amount of allowable Medicare charges. The Medicare incentives are paid after the physician implements and demonstrates meaningful use of their EHR in accordance with the regulations set forth by the HHS Secretary.

The three calculators on this page offer ways to estimate your Medicare Incentives for the meaningful use of Electronic Health Records based on your allowable Medicare charges. The first year of meaningful use of EHR technology requires 90 consecutive days of use of that EHR technology, to qualify for the maximum incentive for year one use, you may need to use your EHR technology longer than 90 days to qualify for the maximum incentive.
