Colorado Medicaid EHR Incentive Program to Roll Out Soon

Later this month, CORHIO will assist the Department of Health Care Policy & Financing (HCPF) as it implements the Medicaid Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Program. The program will provide incentive payments to eligible providers as they adopt, implement, upgrade or demonstrate "meaningful use" of certified EHR technology.
Under the terms of the agreement with HCPF, CORHIO will be responsible for program coordination as well as provider education and communications, providing a central point of contact on behalf of Medicaid. CORHIO will not be responsible for issuing payments to providers, but will instead help coordinate the implementation of the registration and attestation system being provided by a third-party vendor and ensure Colorado providers are educated about the steps necessary to sign up for, qualify and receive Medicaid incentive payments.
