Worried CMS overpaid your hospital for meaningful use? What to do now.
Partner Erin Whaley was quoted throughout a Health IT News story involving a report that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services overpaid providers millions in meaningful use incentives. For Whaley documentation is the crux of the overpayment issue. And that will be ongoing. To receive meaningful use payments, organizations should have already had the needed documents in place. “The providers very well could have met the incentive, but if they don’t have the documentation -- it didn’t happen,” explained Whaley.
