Speaking of MU and other CMS incentives, I'd like to provide a reminder to anyone that needs to submit a hardship /request letter to avoid the 1% penalty for not meeting the CMS e-rx requirement (code G8553 with appropriate denominator x 10 between 01/01/2011 and 06/30/2011). The e-application for providers/letter for groups have to be submitted or postmarked by November 1, 2011.
Any questions, don't wait for this forum, missing the deadline will result in net <1%> for 2012 Medicare claims... check with Medicare.
