Indiana Electronic Health Records (EHR) Incentive Program

ATTENTION: Eligible Professionals - Please do not attempt to submit your Payment Year 2, Program Year 2013, Meaningful Use applications at this time!

Medical Assistance Provider Incentive Repository (MAPIR) system changes are required before Payment Year 2, Program Year 2013, Meaningful Use Stage One (MU1) applications can be processed correctly. The previous version of MAPIR is not configured to support the new measure definitions for Program Year 2013 MU.  An upgrade to MAPIR scheduled for July 1, 2013 will incorporate the rule changes necessary to process Meaningful Use Stage One (MU1) applications.  Please wait until after that date to submit an MU1 attestation.  Any Payment Year 2, Program Year 2013 MU1 attestations currently started in MAPIR will be aborted, and must be resubmitted after July 1, 2013.

The Stage Two Meaningful Use rule, that was published on September 4, 2012, changed requirements that providers must meet for Stage One, Program Year 2013. Refer to the CMS Stage 1 Changes Tipsheet at cms.gov for a detailed summary of the Stage 1 MU changes. You can also visit the CMS EHRIP web page for additional program information.

Indiana Medicaid EHR Incentive Program is here

The Indiana Medicaid Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Program is here! On May 2, 2011, Indiana joined other states in launching the Indiana Medicaid EHR Incentive Program. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 authorizes the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide incentives for eligible professionals (EPs) and eligible hospitals (EHs), as the professionals and hospitals adopt, implement, upgrade, or demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology (see EHR Incentive Programs on the CMS Web site at cms.gov).

What should you do first?

Before you register with Indiana's EHR Incentive Program, you should take the following steps:

  • Verify the provider you are trying to register has been actively enrolled with Indiana Medicaid for at least the past 90 days.
  • Verify that you are potentially eligible for the EHR Incentive Program - Refer to the CMS Web site or  use the CMS Eligibility Wizard at the bottom of the EHR FAQs page of indianamedicaid.com to answer a few questions to determine your potential eligibility to participate in the EHR Incentive Program.
  • Make sure you have a certified EHR system - Check the Certified HIT Product List (CHPL) for the authoritative, comprehensive listing of Complete EHRs and EHR Modules that have been tested and certified under the Temporary Certification Program on the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) for Health IT Web site at hhs.gov > Recovery.
  • Update or verify your Provider Enrollment Chain and Ownership System (PECOS) information via the CMS Web site at cms.gov (Medicare > Medicare Provider-Supplier Enrollment > Internet Based PECOS > Access to internet Based PECOS).
  • Enroll in Web interChange if you have not already done so. Indiana's EHR Registration and Attestation portal will be available to providers from within Web interChange, so make sure you can access this important tool. You can contact the Web interChange team via telephone at (317) 488-5160 or 1-877-877-5182; or via email at INXIXElectronicSolution@hp.com.

    • For registration, CMS will use the information you have on file with the NPPES, including your National Provider Identifier (NPI) and tax identification number. When you register with Indiana's EHR Incentive Program, CMS information must match information on file with Indiana Medicaid.
    • Update your National Plan & Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) information on the CMS Web site.
