Electronic Prescribing

In 2013, the eRx Incentive Program for participating and reporting in the Medicare Electronic Prescribing (eRx) Incentive Program ended.

The six-month 2014, eRx payment adjustment reporting period began on 1/1/2013 and ended on 6/30/2013. This was the final reporting period to avoid the 2014 eRx payment adjustment. Providers were instructed not to report the G-codes (G8553) for 2014 events. 

  • 2013 was the last year to earn an eRx incentive payment
  • 2014 is the last year to incur an eRx payment adjustment

Content related to eRx will be on the CMS website as informational, so participants have an opportunity to access reference materials associated with the eRx incentive payment, payment adjustment and feedback reports. For more information, you may refer to Medicare/eRx Quality Initiatives Program.
