CMS publishes final rule for MU reporting

Editor's Note

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on November 1 published a final rule that will allow providers in the Electronic Health Record (EHR) incentive program who previously demonstrated meaningful use (MU) to report to any continuous 90-day reporting period in 2016 and 2017 rather than a full calendar year.

CMS also recommends threshold reductions in modified MU stage 2 for 2017 and MU stage 3 for 2017 and 2018.
