The Sun is Not Setting on the EHR Safe Harbor
Posted In Anti-Kickback Statute, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”), Compliance Officer, EHR Systems, EHR vendor, Electronic Health Records (“EHR"), Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI), Stark Laws
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Office of the Inspector General (“OIG”) recently announced that the regulation allowing certain health care entities to donate electronic health records (with the entity subsiding up to 85% of the donor’s costs) to physicians has been extended to December 31, 2021. The regulation, which provided a safe harbor from the Stark Law and Anti-kickback statute, was set to expire on December 31, 2013. More >

EHR Systems: Is Certification Ever Certain?
Posted In Decertification, EHR vendor, Electronic Health Records (“EHR"), Health Care Law, Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act), Meaningful use incentives, Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (“ONC”)
The 2009 Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (“HITECH”) Act provides the Department of Health & Human Services (“HHS”) with the authority to establish programs to improve health care quality, safety, and efficiency through the implementation of health IT, including electronic health record technology (“EHR Technology”). Under HITECH, eligible health care providers can qualify for Medicare and Medicaid incentive payments when they adopt certified EHR technology and use it to achieve specifically outlined objectives, known as “meaningful use" requirements.
