According to CMS “In the last week, Alabama and Missouri began participating in the Medicaid Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Program. This means that eligible professionals (EPs) and eligible hospitals in Alabama and Missouri will be able to receive incentive payments through the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program. More information about the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program can be found on the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Program Basics page of the CMS EHR website.
If you are a resident of Alabama or Missouri, and are eligible to participate in the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program, visit your State Medicaid Agency website for more information on your state’s participation in the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program:
• Alabama
• Missouri
As of April 4, 13 states have launched their Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs, and six states have issued incentive payments to Medicaid EPs who have adopted, implemented, or upgraded certified EHR technology. CMS looks forward to announcing the launches of additional States’ Programs in the coming months.
For a complete list of states that have already begun participation in the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program, see the State Medicaid Information document from the CMS EHR website.
