It is important to note that even if not participating in e-Rx program, per se, you will be penalized beginning in 2012 if you do not submit at least 10 G-codes by June of 2011 showing that you are e-prescribing. See my post in general discussion titled medicare carrots (and sticks). Although you cannot take E-Rx bonus money in same year you take EHR bonus money - there will be no e-Rx bonus money in 2012 when EHR money becomes available - only e-Rx penalty of 1% deduction if you did not already submit your G codes in 2011 (must do 10 before June!). Nothing wrong if you want to wait until May to submit 10 codes... But we shall see how many clarifications and interim final rules it takes to get us there.
Good luck.
