So what will the overall penalties be to be olde school i.e. no eRx, no data access, no MU etc ? I am seriously considering trying to see 1 or 2 more patients a day and saying good bye to reaching for the 'golden ring'.
Every Physician and their practice is different, but as the rules continue to change, there are mounting reasons for each to do an assessment of their practice model, and what payer money to take.
Having been in the forefront of data-mining implementation in a certain group of F500 companies, I remember when one of those companies looked at what we found, and exited an entire line-of-business. They discovered they were loosing money, and were better off not taking the business.
The salient point is that saying no to certain business/payers will be disruptive, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it.
