CMS extends Meaningful Use deadline to March 13, 2017

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services extended the deadline for Meaningful Use requirements for providers participating in the Medicare EHR Incentive program.

The new deadline is March 13, 2017, a two-week extension from the previous Feb. 28 deadline, according to a CMS spokesperson. Eligible providers, hospitals, and critical access hospitals must attest to the 2016 program requirements to avoid a 2018 payment adjustment.
