How can we determine if our providers are eligible for Meaningful Use?
  • MU-EP-Stage 1-Misc.
  • MU-EP-Stage 2-Misc.

For questions regarding provider eligibility, we highly recommend referencing the CMS website and following up with your state Medicaid office. Evident is not permitted to discuss or recommend provider eligibility with a site.

Is there an online presentation we can view that explains how the Patient Portal works?
  • MU-EP-Stage 1-Misc.
  • MU-EP-Stage 2-Misc.

At this time there is not an online presentation for Patient Portal education. We have instructional documents that can be emailed to site contacts, and we will be happy to perform a WebEx to explain the functionality of the Patient Portal.

Are physicians who practice in hospital-based ambulatory clinics eligible to receive Medicare or Medicaid incentive payments?

According to CMS, a hospital-based EP is defined as an EP who furnishes more than 90% of their services in either an inpatient or emergency department of a hospital and does not qualify for Medicare or Medicaid EHR incentive payments.
