Attestation for the Medicare EHR Incentive Program for Eligible Professionals
What do I need to do to receive my Medicare EHR incentive payment?
- Register for the incentive program. You will find step by step guides to assist you with this process. You will need:
- National Provider Identifier (NPI)
- National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) User ID and Password (Contact the NPPES Help Desk if you cannot remember your password. (800)465-3203 or send an email to customerservice@npienumerator.com)
- CMS EHR Certification number for your EHR. NOTE: The ONC CHPL Product Number issued to your vendor for each certified technology is different than the CMS EHR Certification ID. Only a CMS EHR Certification ID obtained through the CHPL will be accepted at attestation. The CMS EHR Certification ID contains 15 alphanumeric characters.
And if you are reassigning your benefits:
- Payee Tax Identification Number
- Payee National Provider Identifier
- Meet Meaningful Use criteria using certified EHR technology. Helping practices meet the criteria is what the Kansas HITREC does. Contact the REC today to find out how to become a REC participant.
-
Attest that you have met the meaningful use criteria. You will find step by step guides to assist you with this process.
WARNING: You have only one opportunity to see and record the Attestation Confirmation Number. This number will be on the Submission Receipt webpage that appears once you have submitted all your measures. This number is issued whether your attestation is accepted or rejected. Record this number! Write it down, do a print screen, take a screen shot and save the file. This is your proof that you reached Meaningful Use.
