2012 eRx incentive program payment adjustment feedback report update

22 December 2011

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services just announced that they are not currently able to provide a 2012 electronic prescribing (eRx) incentive payment adjustment feedback report because of the high volume of significant hardship exemption requests received. As CMS continues to explore alternative means to notify eligible professionals that they are subject to the 2012 eRx payment adjustment, please review your remittance advices for claims submitted for dates of services on or after Jan. 1, 2012.

Eligible professionals and group practices (GPRO) participating in the eRx GPRO that receive the 2012 eRx payment adjustment will see the term “LE” on their remittance advice for all Medicare Part B services rendered between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2012.

For more information on how the 2012 eRx payment adjustment will be assessed and applied, please visit MLN Matters Article SE1141 or the eRx incentive program Web page for additional information.
