McKesson offers discounted EHRs for independent physicians

McKesson is offering the option to reduce the cost barriers associated with independent physician adoption of EHRs for a limited time.

The initiative is the latest in the Achieve Health IT program which for the past year has provided free resources and education on the implications of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act’s health IT provisions, according to San Francisco-based McKesson.

Physicians may choose from two options on selected EHR/practice management programs, including Practice Partner, Lytec MD and Medisoft Clinical: 0 percent interest for 12 months with a 25 percent down payment or a $1,000 cash rebate for the first provider with a $500 cash rebate for each additional provider in a practice.

According to the company, McKesson will offer the promotion directly to independent physicians licensing EHR software through McKesson, as well as through its network of EHR-certified value-added resellers.
