Medicare e-Prescribing Incentive Program
Medicare e-Prescribing Incentive Program
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) offers an incentive program for eligible professionals to facilitate the use of electronic prescribing (eRx). The incentive program was authorized under the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA) and is scheduled to continue through 2013. A payment adjustment (penalty) was added to the program in 2011 and is scheduled to continue through 2014. An overview of the 2012 Medicare eRx Incentive Program and other related information is below.

e-Prescribing Penalty Complaint Form - The ACP has developed this form to help physicians resolve their e-prescribing penalty problems with Medicare. ACP’s e-Rx Complaint Center will communicate e-prescribing problems directly to Medicare on behalf of physicians. Use this form ONLY AFTER you have unsuccessfully tried to resolve your situation through the QualityNet Help Desk 1-866-288-8912 (TTY 1-877-715-6222) or qnetsupport@sdps.org Monday-Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. CST.
CMS has completed their review of issues relating to the 2012 payment adjustment.
