Meaningful Use
OVERVIEW
The 2009 the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (also known as the "Stimulus Bill") authorizes the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to offer a financial incentive to physician and hospital providers who demonstrate the "Meaningful Use" of an EHR.
The core mission of NYC REACH is to help New York City providers achieve Meaningful Use. This section describes the incentives available, who is eligible, and what qualified providers must do to receive the incentive payments.
