Medicaid EHR Incentive Program Update for Colorado

The website and software for State Medicaid registration and attestation is undergoing “user acceptance testing” over the next two weeks. We will know by the end of February if it passes this internal testing phase and will be ready for production by March 5, 2012. Look for our blogs the first week of March with more information.

Remember to update your CMS EHR incentive registration soon if you plan on attesting for Medicaid. You can choose both Medicaid and Medicare if you are a CAH; our clinic providers should choose the incentive they believe they will qualify and attest to in 2012.

RHCs who plan on attesting for their Nurse Practitioners under Medicaid must have a State Medicaid (HCPF) participating ID number assigned. If you do not have these assigned for your Nurse Practitioners you will not be able to attest for them. If this is your situation we advise you to immediately apply for the appropriate Medicaid ID for your Nurse Practitioner(s).
