Medicare ePrescribe Incentive Program

This is the last year to earn an incentive in Medicare’s Electronic Prescribing (eRx) program; penalties begin in 2012. 

Eligible professionals who participate in this program can earn up to 1% of the total estimated Medicare Part B
charges for furnished services in 2011 and 2012. In 2013, the incentive will be reduced to 0.5%. Beginning in 2012,
eligible professionals who are not using electronic prescribing will receive a payment adjustment or penalty, 1%
less on all Medicare services in 2012, then 1.5% less in 2013 and 2% less in 2014.

No sign up or pre-registration required; a wide range of professionals are eligible.
