              Now Available: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Final 2019 Hospital Payment Rule

              August 17, 2018

              Changes to the Meaningful Use (MU) Program for the 2019 performance year have been confirmed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) in a final rule that updates Medicare payment policies and rates under the Inpatient Prospective Payment System and Long-Term Care Hospital Prospective Payment System.

              This rule is applicable to EPs participating in Meaningful Use because it confirms a 90-day electronic health record (EHR) reporting period for 2019, requires the use of 2015-edition certified electronic health record technology (CEHRT), and lowers the number of MU measures.

              Additional components of the rule:

              • Removes MU measures that do not emphasize interoperability and health information exchange, including some care coordination and patient engagement measures
              • Renames several MU measures
              • Confirms that Verify Opioid Treatment Agreements and querying a prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) will be optional quality measures in 2019
              • Includes two new e-prescribing measures related to opioid prescribing
