Medicare e-prescribing deadlines approaching on June 30

Two deadlines loom for the Medicare e-Prescribing (eRx) Incentive Program.

First, there is still time to avoid a payment penalty in 2013 if you have not already submitted enough claims to qualify as a successful e-prescriber. To avoid the penalty, you must successfully submit at least 10 eRx claims by the end of June. If you are unable to use e-prescribing, you may be able to qualify for a hardship exemption from the payment penalties associated with this program. Those applications are also due by June 30.

Additional information is available on the ACP e-prescribing website.
