  5. Information Needed for Year 2 • The Provider/Group information will pre-populate if the EP is filing for 90 days MU in Year 2. • Information on the EHR system will only need to be re-entered if there is some change in the system (i.e., different vendor; new version). • Information that needs to be entered each year is information relating to Patient Volume. • Information relating to the Meaningful Use attestation will need to be filed separately each year.

  6. EP Patient Volume CalculationFQHC/RHC • Medicaid Patient Volume for FQHC/RHC-based EPs Needy Patient Encounters Total Patient Encounters • For any continuous 90-day period in the preceding calendar year

  7. EP Patient Volume CalculationFQHC/RHC Needy Patient Encounters • Definition of Needy Encounters: • Services rendered to an individual on any one day where Medicaid or SCHIP paid for all or part of the service • Services rendered to an individual on any one day where Medicaid or SCHIP paid for all or part of their premiums, copayments, and/or cost-sharing • Services rendered to an individual on any one day on a sliding scale or that were uncompensated • Out-of-State Medicaid Encounters: • Can be included in Medicaid patient encounters (numerator) • Must also be included in total encounters (denominator)

  8. Meaningful Use Attestation • Every provider that has received A/I/U will need to meet 90 days of MU before receiving the next incentive payment ($8,500) for Year 2. • MU measures include 15 Core measures and 5 of 10 Menu measures for each provider. Most measures should be recorded by the EHR system in use. • Core measures include such items as e-prescribing, recording patient demographics, recording vital signs, performing a security check, recording Clinical Quality Measures (CQM) among others.
