This now gives providers the choice to choose between either the Medicare or Medicaid EHR incentive programs. The DHCS website has more information on the Medicaid incentive program.
- Medicare Incentive Paid Over 5 Years: $44,000
- Medicaid Incentive Paid Over 5 Years: $63,750
With the new Medicaid option open to eligible providers it gives providers the opportunity to apply for the EHR incentive monies under Medicaid if they didn't meet the Medicare requirements. Since the EHR incentive program began, it has paid out over $870 million to eligible providers.
