Electronic Health Records

Idaho Electronic Health Record Incentive Program

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 promotes adoption of Electronic Health Record (EHR) technology in documenting patient care. The legislation allows incentive payments for eligible professionals (EPs) and eligible hospitals (EHs) as they adopt, implement, upgrade, or demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology.

The Idaho Department of Health & Welfare is preparing to launch its Medicaid Incentive Program. The state is still in the process of developing a system to manage incentive payments for Idaho’s eligible providers and hospitals and is not yet prepared to receive registrations. This website will be used to announce the date registration will open. This website will also provide you information regarding the Idaho EHR program. During the interim, providers are encouraged to visit the officialCMS website, which provides the most up-to-date information about the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs.

Providers interested in participating in the Idaho Medicaid EHR Incentive Payment Program will be able to register with the Idaho State Level Registry (SLR) this summer. At that time, CMS Registration will also start being accepted for Idaho. Over the next few months program development and testing of the Idaho SLR, which is called the Idaho Incentive Management System (IIMS) continues. Upon completion, Idaho will be able to accept provider applications/attestation for incentive payments through our IIMS system.
