This is just horrifying.

This is not patient care; it is just madness.

So far as I know, nothing happens if we don't do MU-2 except the 1% penalty. And beefing up office staff and slowing down production to make it possible will cost far more than 1%, so it is a non-starter.

Our hospital is doing it with their clinics -- but they have endless sources of money, which small offices don't (because they scam big time). But worse than that, patient care has degraded drastically, and the notes from them when we get the patients in follow up are simply unreadable.
