MIPPA Incentives
Is Your Practice Eligible For MIPPA Incentives - or Penalties?
With benefits like shorter prescription processing and reduced risk of adverse drug reactions, doctors are doing away with paper prescriptions and turning to e-prescribing instead. And a host of programs like Medicare Improvements For Patients And Providers Act (MIPPA) incentives pay them to do so!
MIPPA offers your practice a cash incentive to start e-prescribing today, based on a percentage of your Medicare payment claims. Be warned, however, that MIPPA also includes penalties if you aren't e-prescribing by 2012! So, each year you put off deploying e-prescribing at your practice is another year closer to MIPPA penalties - and another lost year of MIPPA incentives. See the incentive and penalty breakdown below.
MIPPA Incentives Breakdown By Year:
| 2011 | 2012 | 2013 |
| Receive incentive check equaling 1% of your Medicare claims. | Receive incentive check equaling 1% of your Medicare claims. | Receive incentive check equaling 1/2% of your Medicare claims. |
MIPPA Penalties Breakdown By Year:
| 2012 | 2013 | 2014 and beyond |
| 1% Medicare payment reduction. | 1.5% Medicare payment reduction. | 2.0% Medicare payment reduction. |
Do the math – you earn more incentive checks the sooner you get in!
If your practice uses a qualified e-prescribing solution such as Rcopia from DrFirst and sees Medicare patients, you can start receiving MIPPA bonus payments this year, and every year until 2014.
But wait…won't an investment in e-prescribing software swallow up any MIPPA incentive check? Why not just wait closer to the penalties deadline before e-prescribing? The answer is e-prescribing is so affordable, it just doesn't make sense to wait another year before applying for MIPPA incentives.
