Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
Special Open Door Forum:
Electronic Prescribing
Wednesday, November 19, 2008
3:30pm-5pm
Conference Call Only
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is hosting this Special Open Door Forum (ODF) on Electronic Prescribing (E-Prescribing). CMS staff will present information on the following topics: Overview of Part D E-Prescribing Standards, E-Prescribing Resources, E-Prescribing Incentives and E-Prescribing Measures.
Section 132 of the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA) authorizes a new and separate incentive program for eligible professionals who are successful electronic prescribers (e-Prescribers) as defined by MIPPA. This new incentive program removes the e-prescribing measure from the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI) for 2009.

We look forward to your participation.
