Average Medicare Allowable Charges Poll

As I mentioned in my previous post on the ARRA EHR stimulus payments under Medicare, a clinic needs to have at least $24k in allowable charges in order to receive the full EMR stimulus money of $18k. This poll is an attempt to get an idea of if most doctors offices have over $24k in allowable charges or not. I imagine Obama and company looked at this number when planning for ARRA, but I haven’t seen any data on how many clinics will be eligible for the full $18k in EMR stimulus money.

Thanks for the input. I think it will also be interesting to see how many people respond that they don’t take Medicare either. I probably should also do something similar for Medicaid. I guess that’s a future post.

      Can you please clear something up for me? Are the stimulus payments per provider or per site? If you have an office with 5 doc’s do they get 40,000 or 200,000? Thanks!

      It’s actually 44k per provider. Assuming the provider has enough allowable Medicare charges. You can see a nice image of the pay schedule: http://www.emrandhipaa.com/emr-and-hipaa/2009/07/08/arra-ehr-stimulus-payments-under-medicare/
