Register for the EHR Incentive Program
The window is closing!
The opportunity for Eligible Professionals to register and attest for calendar year 2011 for the EHR Incentive programs is closing! Eligible professionals have until February 29, 2012 to register and attest to receive a Medicare incentive payment for calendar year 2011.
If you are participating in the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program, check the rules on your states EHR Incentive website because the final cut off dates vary from state to state. For example, the cutoff date in New Jersey is March 23, 2012, in Indiana the last date to attest for calendar year 2011 is February 29, 2012, and in the state of Ohio if you did not register with CMS before December 31, 2011 you can no longer attest at the Ohio state level for the calendar year 2011.
For details on the timelines for registering and attesting for calendar 2011 for the Medicare program, visit the CMS site . And click here for a complete list of all of the state’s EHR Incentive program websites.
The Best Presentation at Open Minds
Last week our own Mary Givens, Program Manager at Qualifacts, and Carolyn Hohne, Director of Performance Improvement at The Lester A. Drenk Behavioral Health Center presented 5 Ways to Ensure EHR Implementation Success at the 2012 Open Minds Best Management Practices Institute. The session was a hit – full of pragmatic suggestions, thoughtful questions, and Mary’s signature sense of humor (it’s only a matter of time before we lose her to a career in stand up). We overheard one attendee say this was the best presentation of the entire conference! We agree.
Many thanks to Mary and Carolyn!

EHR Go-Live Assurance
Today we officially launched the EHR Go-Live Assurance Program! We understand the risks behavioral health providers face when selecting and implementing an EHR, and so we created a program to reduce the risk of investing in an EHR. New customers can defer all payments until they are up and running on the system. Pay nothing until you’re live! It’s the only shared risk implementation. It’s just that simple, and we hope it demonstrates our commitment to helping behavioral health organizations adopt EHRs. Watch the video and visit our website for more information. Or, better yet contact us!
Making the Move from 4010 to 5010
Are you ready for 5010? As of January 1, 2012, behavioral health/human services providers will be required to use the HIPAA X12 version 5010 format when submitting claims, receiving remittances and sending claim status or eligibility inquiries electronically.
The grace period has been extended through the end of March, but many BH agencies still are using a system that will not support the 5010 requirements.
During this 60-minute informational webinar, the Qualifacts 5010 subject matter experts provide step-by-step instructions to help you get 5010 compliant in time for the transition, including:
– Steps each agency or practitioner needs to take to prepare for the transition from 4010 to 5010
– Explanation on why, how and when to use a manual payment on a claim to allow secondary claims to be sent electronically. Remember: 5010 requires claim payment/adjustment balancing.
– All “payer specific” lessons learned we have to date
