Registration & Attestation Service
Home >
The staff at federal Centers for Medical Services (CMS) has worked very hard to simplify the
registration process for the EHR Incentive Program. There are no paper forms, and it is not
possible to contact the wrong place, or experience all the normal application mailing
headaches! It is all on the web at:
BUT once you get to the website, things get a bit complicated… Here are some of the typical
problems:
#1: If you have not already registered at PECOS (CMS’ Provider Enrollment, Chain and
Ownership System) or have a National Provider Identifier (at the National Plan & Provider
Enumeration System), you’ll have to take two diversions that some folks find rather alarming
and confusing. We can quickly help you with this winding path of registration.
#2: If you are registering for the Medicaid incentive, you will also subsequently be contacted
by your state Medicaid agency after you have completed your registration at the CMS site. We
can help you prepare for their process.
#3: When the time comes to submit your Attestation (and your data) that confirms that you
have satisfied your selected Meaningful Use criteria, you must:
Under the Medicare Incentive - return to the registration site and correctly enter in all of your
data. Mistakes with this process may mean your payment will likely be delayed. Should you be
selected for subsequent audit by CMS, this is the data they will focus on. We can assist you in
validating this data.
Under the Medicaid Incentive – you will need to submit your attestation and data using the
process that has been established by your state. You will not be using the CMS website. This
program has special requirements for you to demonstrate that you have sufficient numbers of
Medicaid patients (and other groups of patients in some cases). We can explain this
information and help you with its submission.
Because of our background in assisting practitioners and entities with Meaningful Use, we can
prevent your registration or attestation from becoming a lengthy or expensive process. Let us
help make this part of the EHR Incentive program a simple and worry-free experience for
you.
