I'm happy to report that my biller announced to me she found a $12,000 deposit in our account today, representing our year #2 of M.U. attestation (for 2012). yay!!!

I am medium on whether clicking all those buttons is worth $12,000, and I'm borderline whether it's worth it for the $8,000 for year #3, but I'm in the process of click-click-clicking away for 2013 attestation.

I've made a decision however, I'm not going for attestation after 2013. The $4,000 and $2,000 incentive dollars for years 4 and 5 are definitely NOT worth it to my practice. Nor is the penalty for NON-participation in MU/PQRS/ERx. I'm actively reviewing the process for withdrawal from the medicare system b/c I don't think I'll survive any longer if we continue to accept medicare.
