a) March 20, 2015
b) March 31, 2015
c) April 1, 2015
d) July 1, 2015
Answer: a) March 20, 2015
CMS extended the deadline for Eligible Providers (EPs) participating in the Medicare EHR Incentive Program at attest to Meaningful Use (MU) to 11:59 pm ET on March 20, 2015.
This extension allows EPs extra time to submit their meaningful use data. It also give EPs who have not already used their one opportunity to switch programs (from Medicare to Medicaid, or vice versa) for the 2014 payment year an opportunity to do so until 11:59 pm ET on March 20, 2015. After that time, EPs will no longer be able to switch programs.
The deadline for EPs participating in the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program to attest to MU for the 2014 reporting period is 11:59 pm ET on March 31, 2015.
