In the 2017 OPPS/ASC final rule, we stated that time and
cost limitation concerns related to the 2015 Edition upgrades made it
unfeasible for new participants to attest to the Stage 3 objectives and
measures in 2017 in the EHR Incentive Program Registration and Attestation
System.
We finalized that are all new EPs and eligible hospitals
seeking to avoid the 2018 payment adjustment or any new participating CAH in
2017 seeking to avoid the 2017 payment adjustment would have to attest to
Modified Stage 2 objectives and measures. This requirement is for those
who attest to CMS through the EHR Incentive Program Registration and
Attestation system. In the final rule we stated that this change would apply to
Medicaid providers who usually attest to their State. However, we clarify
further that this provision is only applicable to Medicaid providers who are
dual-eligible and attest to CMS through the EHR Incentive Program Registration
and Attestation system.
