Medicare Incentives and Penalties

Medicare has authorized a 2% incentive program for physicians who utilize e-prescribing. Participation available with SOAPware and the e-prescribing functionality.

The reporting of any one of three G codes (below) for at least 50 percent of Medicare patient encounters meets the requirements for the incentive bonus.

Practices that meet the e-prescribing criteria will be eligible for a 2 percent bonus in 2009 and 2010, a 1 percent bonus in 2011 and 2012 and a 0.5 percent bonus in 2013. Practices not e-prescribing will face a 1 percent cut in 2012 and 2013. That cut will grow to 2 percent in 2014 and beyond. 

In order to participate, physicians simply add one of three G codes to their Medicare claims for patient encounters:

SOAPware Shortcut           G-Code                        Description                                               
eRx1                                        G8443        Prescription sent by e-prescribing system

eRx2                                        G8445        Prescription not generated at encounter    

eRx3                                        G8446        Some prescriptions handwritten or phoned  

In the Plan field, the shortcut eRx expands to create the header Medicare eRx
Clicking on Medicare eRx presents this pick list:

By submitting any one of these three G codes on claims to Medicare, this indicates that an electronic prescribing system has been adopted. 

Notes:
 - E&M services must be at least 10% of total allowed Medicare charges.
 - The bonus  is based on total Part B payments and not just E&M
 - The Average bonus is around $1600/physician/year (e-prescribing is only $500/physician/year)
 - This eRx bonus  is in addition to other bonus programs such as the PQRI.
