First-time Medicare Meaningful Use Attestation Deadline is October 1

Attestation Deadlines for 2016 MEDICARE Meaningful Use

Are you a NEW, first-year meaningful use provider for 2016? Do you want to AVOID the payment adjustments for BOTH 2017 AND 2018?

If both answers are YES, then you must successfully attest for 2016 meaningful use by October 1st, 2016. The EHR reporting period for 2016 first-time participants is any continuous 90-day period.

What happens if I miss the October 1 deadline? You MUST successfully attest for 2016 meaningful use by February 28th, 2017 to avoid the payment adjustment in 2018.

All returning meaningful use providers must successfully attest 2016 meaningful use by February 28th, 2017 to avoid the payment adjustment in 2018. The EHR reporting period for all returning participants is a full calendar year for 2016.
