Abstract: As required by section 101 of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003, CMS created an exception to the physician self-referral prohibition for certain arrangements in which a physician receives non-monetary remuneration in the form of items or services that is necessary and used solely to receive and transmit electronic prescription information. Also, CMS created a regulatory exception for certain arrangements involving the provision of non-monetary remuneration in the form of electronic health records software or information technology and training services necessary and used predominantly to create, maintain, transmit, and receive electronic health records.
