Meaningful Use: Frequently Asked Question (Reporting Period)
Q: What is the reporting period for eligible professionals (EPs) participating in the electronic health record (EHR) incentive programs?
A: For demonstrating meaningful use through both the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs, the EHR reporting period for an EP's first year is any continuous 90-day period within the calendar year. In subsequent years, the EHR reporting period for EPs is the entire calendar year. Under the Medicaid program, there is also an incentive for the adoption, implementation, or upgrade of certified EHR technology, which does not have a reporting period.
