MU Stage 2 calculator available to help with planning
A new Stage 2 Meaningful Use Attestation Calculator is available to help providers determine whether they will successfully meet Stage 2 requirements.
Like the Stage 1 calculator, eligible professionals, eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs) can enter and review their data for each measure, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). A results page explains why a provider may or may not receive an incentive payment by displaying a pass/fail summary for each measure.
The agency offers the following four steps to get started:
- Select provider type: eligible professional or eligible hospital/CAH
- Answer questions on regarding Meaningful Use core objectives
- Answer questions on regarding Meaningful Use menu objectives
- Receive results
Access the calculator and learn more.
