Multiple Choice

Which of the following entities are eligible under the Promoting Interoperability Programs?

Promoting Interoperability Programs are designed to reward entities that actively use certified EHR technology to improve the sharing of health information and patient access. Eligible Professionals include individual clinicians who bill Medicare Part B (and related Medicaid participation) and use CEHRT, while Eligible Hospitals and Critical Access Hospitals are hospitals enrolled in Medicare that also use CEHRT and meet program requirements. Because of this setup, clinics that only accept private pay aren’t covered by PI, and a licensed therapist isn’t automatically eligible unless they meet the EP or EH/CAH criteria. In short, the program targets EPs and EHs/CAHs, not private-pay clinics or all licensed therapists.
