CORHIO Newsletter: Important Information for Dually Eligible: R&A Site Update

From CORHIO’s February 17 Newsletter
Colorado Medicaid Registration and Attestation Site: The modifications to the program necessitate system updates to the Colorado Registration & Attestation (R&A) site. Due to the number of changes that need to be made, the site is currently closed for all registrations, AIU and attestations.

The R&A is currently scheduled to open Spring 2016 for EPs and Fall 2016 for EHs for the 2015 program year. Once the site officially opens, providers will have 60 days to attest. Additionally, due to the program changes, the 2015 program year eligibility workbooks required updating. The 2015 program year workbooks will be published on the CORHIO website as soon as they are available. Please refer to the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program newsletter or the CORHIO website
http://www.corhio.org/expertise/meaningful-use for up-to-date information.

Are you an EP or Dentist that sees both Medicare and Medicaid patients and didn’t meet Medicaid patient volume requirements for program year 2015?: If you are an EP or Dentist who sees both Medicare and CO Medicaid patients, you must demonstrate Meaningful Use in either the Medicare EHR Incentive Program or the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program to avoid payment adjustments on Medicare charges. EPs or Dentists that are only eligible to participate in the Medicaid incentive program are not subject to these payment adjustments. Since many states’ systems will not be open before the Medicare attestation deadline, dually eligible providers that do not meet the patient volume requirements, 30% for providers and 20% for pediatricians will have the option, for program year 2015 only, to use an alternate attestation method through the CMS Attestation Site by the March 11th deadline to avoid Medicare payment adjustments.” [Source: CORHIO]
