In short, it appears no E-prescribing, no pay is proposed on the agenda if the exemption is eliminated. There is a link on this page to sign up for free e-prescribing at no cost to the physicians. BD
Medicare Program; Proposed Revisions to Payment Policies Under the Physician Fee Schedule, and Other Part B Payment Policies for CY 2008; Proposed Revisions to the Payment Policies of Ambulance Services Under the Ambulance Fee Schedule for CY 2008; and the Proposed Elimination of the E-Prescribing Exemption for Computer-Generated Facsimile Transmissions.
So, in you opinion, what do the ambulance fee changes imply for companies in the industry? Good or bad?
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm not quite sure on the question here, but the post here is in reference to Medicare not allowing anything other than E-prescribing starting in 2008 if the current exemption is removed. This is pending along with the current CMS recommended pay cut for physicians who take Medicare. In other words, this is a potential change in the way the physicians will be able to do business when prescribing medications, e-prescribing and no faxing or handwritten scripts.
