Colorado Medicaid EHR Incentive Program Reminder – Patient Lists for Attestation
0 Comments
Many of the hospitals and clinics we have worked with to attest to Medicaid, have received requests for the actual patient lists substantiating their eligibility or qualification for Medicaid EHR incentives. This is a normal part of the “verification step”. Verification occurs after the attestation. Once verification is confirmed the attestation can be forwarded for payment.
We would like to remind any CRHC REC participant attesting to Medicaid, to retain the auditable patient lists you created when you first did the eligibility calculation. Please be sure the encounter “counts” match the workbook and attestation you submitted.
If the numbers from the requested patient data match what was entered during attestation, you can re-upload the originally signed attestations. If the numbers do not match, new attestation documents need to be signed and uploaded.
For our rural health centers that used both Medicaid and “needy” patient volume to establish eligibility, the State is only asking for the Medicaid patients at this time.
