EHR Incentive Registration

The Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Program Registration and Attestation System portal went live today, although not all states are ready for Medicaid registration.

The portal allows eligible hospitals and professionals to register and participate in meeting Stage 1 meaningful use criteria. Participants are being urged to register even if do not have an enrollment record in the Provider Enrollment, Chain and Ownership System (PECOS). They are also urged to register even if their EHR has not yet been certified. A link to the portal can be found at the bottom of this page.

To use the portal, Eligible Professionals (EPs) participants must have an active National Provider Identifier (NPI) and a National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) Web user account. EPs will use their NPPES user ID and password to log into the registration system. Eligible Hospitals registering on the system an active NPI is also required. Users working on behalf of an Eligible Hospital must have an Identity and Access Management system Web user account and be associated to an organization NPI to register.

From the portal there is also a link to the CMS website where provides can access user guides for registration and attestation with information about completing modules, a list of EHR technology that is certified for the program, specification sheets with additional information on each meaningful use objective, and other general resources.
