Unsuccessful Electronic Prescribers Face 2% Cuts in 2014

Physicians and group practices who were not successful electronic prescribers under the 2012 or 2013 Medicare eRx Incentive Program will be subject to a negative payment adjustment of 2% in 2014 on all Medicare Part B claims paid under the physician fee schedule.

Avoid the e-Prescribing Penalty for 2013

The deadline to apply for a Medicare e-prescribing exemption for 2013 is June 30, 2012. If you have not electronically prescribed 10 times with a qualifying physician fee schedule service, you only have a few more weeks to do so. The 2013 payment reduction penalty of 1.5 percent will be determined by e-prescribing activity between January 1 and June 30, 2012.
