CMS Has Posted Information on Recipients of Medicare EHR
Incentive Program Payments
In compliance with the HITECH Act's requirement, CMS has posted
the names, business phone numbers, and business addresses of
Medicare eligible professionals (EPs), eligible hospitals,
and critical access hospitals (CAHs) that have successfully
demonstrated meaningful use and received a payment as of March 2012. Medicare
EPs, eligible hospitals, and CAH's were able to verify and edit their business
phone numbers and addresses during the registration process. CMS has not posted
information on group practices, as incentive payments are not provided at the
group practice level.
Beginning this month, CMS is posting two file formats of
Medicare EHR Incentive Program payment recipients. One format is a searchable
PDF, and the other is a tabular downloadable CSV file that can be opened in
many common spreadsheet programs. This CSV file can also be used to sort
information about recipients, for example, by medical specialty or the state in
which they practice. Use the links below to access the PDF and CSV files.

Please Note:
These lists will be
updated on a quarterly basis. Not all providers are eligible
for the Medicare EHR Incentive Program. Only those professionals, hospitals,
and CAHs that are eligible based on the regulation's eligibility requirements, attested to
meaningfully using an EHR, and have received a Medicare incentive payment will
be displayed online. Finally, the Act does not require CMS to post the names of
eligible professionals, eligible hospitals and CAHs that have received Medicaid
EHR Incentive Program payments.
