Following the stimulus bill’s passing, the medical community is seeking to understand how the more than $19 billion in healthcare IT implementation incentives will be distributed and what is required to receive them. Based on queries from its customers, MedPlexus, a leading provider of software solutions to medical practices, released today a brief guide entitled “Three Things Every Doctor Should Know About the Stimulus Bill Incentives.”

The guide addresses how physicians qualify for the incentives; when the incentives will be available; and what the consequences are if healthcare IT improvements are not implemented.

“Though the first stimulus incentives won’t be paid out until 2011, there are several steps physicians can take to ensure they are best positioned to receive the incentives once available,” says Chittaranjan “CM” Mallipeddi, CEO and founder of MedPlexus. “We created this guide to answer the questions we are being asked most frequently. We hope to continue the conversation with our customers and the medical practice community as more specifics are shared by the Obama administration in the coming months.”

Mallipeddi also notes that eRx (electronic prescribing) and PQRI (Physician Quality Reporting Initiative) incentives are available now. “Fortunately, doctors who currently qualify are able to receive incentives this year. We are working closely with our clients to ensure they receive these incentives now, as well as the incentives available in 2011.”
