What is everyone doing about Core 15 the security issue? Someone offered to charge me $1500 to perform this core for me--seems a bit over the top.

It is a bit over the top. I would just fill out the template below.

There's a risk analysis template that many of have used.

thanks Sandeep. I agree that much of this item is over the top!

Basically the template just helps you identify security risks and you have to come up with solutions to rectify them.

I just registered for meaningful use. Still learning what to do to meet 15 required "core" objectives and 5 of the 10 "menu" set objectives.

Do I need to add any "meaningful use" modifiers or CPT codes to the Medicare office visits?

Do I need to meet 15 required "core" objectives for Medicare patients or for ALL patients including commercial plans and self-insured?

Hi Apricot.

For Meaningful Use, you would want to add at least the "Office Visit" CPT codes to your superbills. This will make sure that your Clinical Quality Measures populate correctly.

As for the Core requirements, you need to pass all 15 with EVERY patient, not just Medicare patients. There are exclusions for some of the core measures (core 12 for example: If no patient requests the electronic copy, then the provider does not have to provide one). You can open the Meaningful Use Wizard and click on each measure to display the exlusion for that measure.

Please let me know if you have any questions
