Stimulating the growth and keen interest in e-prescribing is the Medicare Prescription Act that mandates e-prescribing, plans for the new The National Health Information Infrastructure, and CMS mandates that electronic Medicare claims that do not meet Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) standards will be treated as paper claims and paid more slowly than HIPAA-compliant electronic claims. "Planning For Compliance With The Key Time Lines And Deadlines Of The Federal Mandates To Implement e-Healthcare Technology," a new executive-level tele-briefing has been scheduled for Thursday, November 11, 2004 at 1:30 PM Eastern time. The program goal is to help participants understand the federal requirements and deadlines mandated for the adoption of electronic health records, nationwide e-prescribing mandates, and other health information technology requirements. DATE: Thursday, November 11, 2004 TIME: 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM Central 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM Mountain 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM Pacific BACKGROUND: As part of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) initiatives to promote the adoption of electronic health records, nationwide electronic drug prescribing, the agency plans to introduce an Internet-based portal for people with Medicare to access their claims information. The effort also aims to accelerate the e-prescribing timeline mandated by the Medicare Modernization Act of 2004 (MMA), and encourage the adoption of electronic health records (EHR) systems, particularly in physicians’ offices. The MMA provides that e-prescribing based on national standards be mandatory for drug plans participating in the new Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit by 2009, although CMS expects to require an initial set of well-established standards by January 2006 when the Medicare benefit begins. The National Health Information Infrastructure, created by President Bush in an Executive Order, is a 10-year initiative to transform healthcare delivery by building a new health information infrastructure, including electronic health records and a new network to link health records nationwide.
