The American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) (Pub. L. 111-5) was enacted on February
17, 2009, and includes measures to modernize our nation's
infrastructure and improve affordable health care. Expanded use of
health information technology (HIT) and certified electronic health
record (EHR) technology will improve the quality and value of
America's health care. Title IV of Division B of the Recovery Act
amends Titles XVIII and XIX of the Social Security Act (the Act) by
establishing incentive payments to eligible professionals (EPs),
eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals, and Medicare
Advantage organizations participating in the Medicare and Medicaid
programs that adopt and successfully demonstrate meaningful use of
certified EHR technology (CEHRT). These Recovery Act provisions,
together with Title XIII of Division A of the Recovery Act, may be
cited as the “Health Information Technology for Economic and
Clinical Health Act” or the “HITECH Act.”. Beginning in 2018, the
names of the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs were
changed to the Medicare and Medicaid Promoting Interoperability
Programs. We are collecting information from participants in these
programs on objectives and measures focused on the meaningful use
of CEHRT in order to incentivize the advanced use of CEHRT to
support health information exchange, interoperability, quality
measurement, and maximizing clinical effectiveness and
efficiencies. In the FY 2021 IPPS/LTCH PPS proposed rule, we are
proposing updates to the Promoting Interoperability Programs to
reduce provider burden while maintaining these incentives.
PL: Pub.L. 111 - 5 Title IV of Division B
Name of Law: The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
PL: Pub.L. 111 - 5 Title XIII of Division A Name of Law: The
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
As discussed, 2021 is the last
year for including Medicaid in the burden estimate for this
information collection given the Medicaid Promoting
Interoperability Program concludes December 31, 2021; therefore,
these estimates for 2022 do not include any burden under the
Medicaid Promoting Interoperability Program. This programmatic
sunset of the Medicaid components is what accounted for the
estimated burden hours to reduce from 249,818 to 21,450 hours.
