Shankar,
I am not implying I told you so, because I do not know the right path to choose (for me), but want to expand the conversation a bit.
But first, no to your question.
I have not pursued the Meaningful use monies but several of my partners have already received theirs.
I am in a state of ambivalence about what to do.
I may eventually pursue the Meaningful use route just to avoid the penalties or I just may opt out of Medicare, and for those providers that have opted out of Medicare is there a process that one can do to determine practice viability with opting out of Medicare? Or does one just jump into the water and swim??
I think this is pertinent to your question, especially if the MU post-payment auditing becomes too cumbersome. If you feel I have hi-jacked your thread just let me know and I will start a new one.
