Eligibility
FQHCs
Q. If we are a dermatology group, do we qualify? Or does that mean that we are omitted from the stimulus money?
A. Yes, as a doctor of medicine, you would qualify. The meaningful use criteria are the same for all specialties.
Q. Can multispecialty groups have some physicians participate in the Medicare incentive and some participate in the Medicaid incentive?
A. Yes. Incentives will be paid to eligible professionals on an individual, per-provider basis. That means that one provider in a group can elect to participate in the Medicare program while another in the same practice can elect to participate in the Medicaid program (provided s/he meets the Medicaid patient volume threshold requirements.)
