Home Forums Medicare and eRx incentive program

I believe you need to e-prescribe a minimum of 10 times during patient encounters before June 30, 2011 to avoid the penalty.

The bill submitted to medicare has to include a special item that indicates that at least one rx was generated electronically during that visit. It's a special G-code, that should not be charged ($0.00).

for more information.

I'm just starting doing this, so please, correct me if I'm wrong, somebody.
