Free EHR software subscriptions to healthcare providers in New Jersey*

Emdeon has partnered with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Office of Minority Health to provide 100 12-month free electronic health record (EHR) software and services subscriptions to physicians in small practices in medically underserved communities throughout New Jersey.

The HITECH Act encourages eligible providers to adopt electronic health records by offering incentive payments to those who use a certified EHR technology. Eligible professionals who meet the qualification criteria can receive up to $44,000 from Medicare or up to $64,000 from Medicaid over five years, starting in 2011.

To participate in this initiative, a health care provider must meet the following criteria:

• Practice in a Medically Underserved Area (MUA) or Health Provider Shortage Area (HPSA) designated by HHS.
• Have an Internet connection and use an electronic billing system.
• Be a small practice group of one to five providers or a Federally Qualified Health Center within the MUA and/or PSA.
