DC Health Care Finance Announces EHR Incentive Program Now Open
Today the Department of Health Care Finance announced its opening of Program Year 2020 for the DC Medicaid Promoting Interoperability Program.
The announcement can be seen here. DHCF will accept attestation from eligible providers until March 15, 20201. Eligible providers include:
- Licensed physicians, nurse practitioners, CNMs, or dentists; who
- Maintain a Medicaid patient volume threshold of 30% (20% for pediatricians); and
- Have already received a Medicaid EHR incentive payment from DC or another state.
DHCF is also working with eHealthDC to offer free technical assistance to eligible providers to help them meet incentive payment requirements. MSDC supported funding for this program in the District budget as we have heard from our members that the fund is critical to serving their patients.
If you would like more information on whether you qualify for incentive payments or free
technical assistance, please contact eHealthDC at contact@e-healthdc.org. You may also call or submit a request for assistance at www.e-healthdc.org
