A guide from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services explains the e-prescribing incentive program and how to choose a qualified e-prescribing system. By using e-prescribing, physicians can save time, improve patient safety and quality of care, and earn a 2% incentive from Medicare.

The CMS has also posted three fact sheets on changes that need to be reported to Medicare by enrolled physicians and group practices. Reportable changes include a change of business structure, legal business name, tax identification number, and practice location and status.
