MaineCare Health Information Technology Meaningful Use Program

What is the HIT Incentive/ Meaningful Use Program?

The Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Program was created by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH). CMS will administer the Medicare EHR Incentive Program and State Medicaid agencies will administer the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program.

The program pays 100% federally funded incentives to eligible professionals (EPs) and hospitals for adopting, implementing, upgrading and demonstrating meaningful use of certified EHR technology.
