I talked with Jon this week - if you will notice the government appointed 2 organizations to do meaningful use certification and they certified several of the big name EMRs within one month. Jon made it clear that they are going through the hoops and that AC will be certified - he intends on applying by the end of the year, he basically said at a lecture that of course AC would be certified because if an EMR wanted to stay in business they would have to be.
In regards to the price increase - he really only raised the price by 500 the first year for a single provider practice - was 995 plus 500 support (now just lumps it together) and yes support increased to 1000 per provider per year,but the amount of support has to increase with things like e prescribing, the PM coming, etc. I didn't like the increase either but he should have raised it last year and then again this year - would be the same, but somehow smaller amounts seem easier.
