?For purposes of determining which eligible professionals or group practices are subject
to the payment adjustment in 2012, CMS will analyze claims data from January 1, 2011-
June 30, 2011 to determine if the eligible professional has submitted at least 10
electronic prescriptions during the first six months of calendar year 2011.?
So you need 10 in the first half of 2011 and 25 for the year to avoid any penalty.
http://www.cms.gov/ERxIncentive/Downloads/2011eRxIncentiveProgramUpdatefor2012PaymentAdjustment.pdf"Reporting one QDC (G8553) for the eRx measure to CMS through claims, or submission via a qualified registry or a qualified EHR will indicate intent to participate."
So the code is the same.
