Medicare Electronic Prescribing Program Exemptions: CMS Policy Is Clear

The Chiro.Org Blog


A recent misrepresentation of Federal policy related to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Electronic Prescribing Program has recently circulated through the chiropractic profession.


To clarify any confusion this may have caused, ACA would like to direct DCs to this issue of MLN Matters, which provides information directly from CMS (Medicare) regarding the electronic prescribing program exemptions.

In short:   providers who are NOT:   MDs, DOs, podiatrists, nurse practitioners or physician assistants are exempt from the e-Rx payment adjustment.
