Home Forums Discussions Meaningful Use Successful Attestation of Stage 1 MU, year 3

I spent a couple hours at the office today attesting to MU 2013. Success !
It's my third and final year of playing the MU game. Received the 2011 $18K, received the 2012 $12K, and expect to the receive the 2013 $8 without glitch (but our dis-enrollment from Medicare could mess it up, although it's not supposed to.....not holding my breath).

Effective today Jan 1, 2014 we are withdrawn from Medicare.....that planning process started in May 2013 with feasibility studies, followed by notification to our patients in June 2013 of the intent to drop-out, then we fielded questions by our distraught patients for several months (but due to a well-written letter of notice and FAQ's) they kept the questions to a minimum since they all understood the deal. November 10th we sent our notice to CMS (at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the Quarter you intend to dis-enroll). We received confirmation of receipt a few weeks later.
Today is DAY #1 of the rest of my life without the encumbrances of Medicare.

We maintain PECOS enrollment so we can order durable medical equipment for the Medicare patients that remain as self-pay.

I look forward to seeing patients tomorrow without having to CLICK all those blue boxes in AC.....I hope I can break the habit though. 2-1/2 years of clicking boxes....geeze. I feel like one of those lab rats pressing the button for a food pellet or something.
