What is HITECH certification?
In early 2009 Congress signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This $787 billion stimulus law includes a $19.2 billion investment in Healthcare IT to increase the adoption and use of Electronic Health Records (EHR) by physicians and hospitals. This portion of the bill is widely known as the HITECH Act (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act). The funds are distributed to eligible hospitals and providers via existing Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement systems. The incentives are available to healthcare providers that use “certified” EHR systems in a “meaningful way”.
Eligible medical professionals include Doctors of Medicine or Osteopathy (M.D. or D.O.), Dental Surgery or Medicine (D.D.S. or D.D.M.), Podiatric Medicine (D.P.M.), Optometry (O.D.) and Chiropractor (D.C.). Also qualifying are certified physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurse anesthetists, nurse-midwives, clinical social workers, clinical psychologists and dietitians.
Medicfusion EHR is ONC Certified as a complete EHR by The Drummond Group. This allows eligible providers to qualify for HITECH incentive funds.
Medicfusion EHR V1.1 is 2011 Edition compliant and has been certified by Drummond Group Inc. an ONC‐ACB in accordance with the applicable certification criteria adopted by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This certification does not represent an endorsement by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services or guarantee the receipt of incentive payments.

How much governmental reimbursement do I qualify for?
Medicare will pay out HITECH incentive funds relative to your practice’s total annual allowable Medicare charges. During your first year in the program (2011 or 2012), Medicare will pay providers 75 percent of their total annual allowable Medicare charges with a ceiling of $15,000. Thus, if a provider charges Medicare in excess of $20,000 in allowable charges, the maximum you will receive is $15,000 in EHR incentives. More information can be found under the Government Incentives page.

All devices that have an Internet Browser that have the following capabilities: Adobe Flash Support (Only need for VAS Subjective Map) – (The Subjective map can be done by patients during Check-In. It can be turned off completely as well) and have Java. This means most devices will work great!
If I purchase Medicfusion, do I still own my files/data? It is your data. We keep it secure and store it for you. If you want your data, this process takes time. Our developers will extract the data into an excel spreadsheet and we will use .pdf files for attachments. The data will then be emailed to you in a secure email format. Things to note: the cost is $750 and the task takes about 30 days to be completed.
How will data from my old system be migrated into Medicfusion? What about SOAP notes? What about A/R?
Data Migration depends on the exporting capabilities of your current system. Most systems should have the capabilities to export data onto an excel spreadsheet. (You might have to seek help from that system’s technical support staff. ) Where possible, we recommend you add a Check-In Medic to your system to capture updated patient demographic information.
Soap Notes – This data cannot be migrated by the Medicfusion team. This data can be saved by your staff and uploaded into Medicfusion. Only do this if needed.
Accounts Receivable – You are going to want to balance out as many accounts as possible. If you need to, you could balance forward from your old system to Medicfusion to keep track of a patient’s balance. (There are many places in Medicfusion where you could store this information.)
What type of File Formats can be used as attachments? We can attach nearly any type of file! Size limit is 5MB per file.
