Well, it finally happened, as I feared...
I only attested Stage 1 the first year, but now I'm being Audited by a third party on behalf of CMS. Despite all this talk about payouts to physicians and the good it was supposed to do, the government wants their money back. I would suggest to you that you really consider the wisdom of taking anything from the government. I spent 2 days getting all my stuff together and sent in. I'll keep you posted, but I hear a significant percentage fail because they never got the Security Analysis done.
