Does anyone know if the qualification test (i.e., 20 to 30% Medicaid) will be adminsitered by the States or the RECs? Will it be administered at the individual pratitioner level or at the group level (e.g., NPI, Tax ID, PC)?

Debbie,
We have not seen anything to date regarding upfront financing from the feds but we have seen plenty of vendors offering such, most famous among them, GE.

Hello John,
I am curious if anyone knows how medicaid reimbursement will be awarded to small CAH hospitals…or rural hospitals?
I thought I had read that there was some upfront financing through medicaid.
Thank you,
Debbie

Hey John,
Just wanted to let you know that this chart is off. It’s missing an extra 10k year since it’s 10k for 5 years. Also, it’s only at 85% so the first year it’s 21250 and then $8500 for 5 years after that.

Unfortunately I see nothing that provides a stimulus to the small pharmacist to accept ePrescribing. I know the package provides incentives to caregivers but I do not believe that will encompass pharmacies.

I read somewhere that mental health was more or less left out of the bill. There was something for community health centers that I guess could possibly do mental health as well, but I remember reading that the mental health community wasn’t part of this bill at all.

There’s also a big question about organizations (such as Community Mental Health Centers) providing services under Medicaid and how they’ll be reimbursed. The bill pretty vague about this.
