I suppose you can put one of the three G codes on all your Medicare now and be paid the 2%, regardless of whether you buy Rcopia or anything else. I don't think the falsehood would be any different than having Rcopia and not using it. I doubt that CMS would check your actual ePrescribing capabilities. A lot of billing services are automatically defaulting to G8445 (no Rx) for their ePrescribing clients if no G code is circled on the superbill.
I am sure AC is going to get a better integrated ePrescriber at some point. Alternatively, you can pay for an Rcopia interface and an AC interface to have the two talk to each other. That way, demographics will flow out from AC, and Prescribing data will flow in. At our local hospital level, all our EMRs will flow to the same database - Rcopia, MPM (our other outpatient EMR), HIS, and EDIS.
