As the deadline for all dental offices using EHR (electronic health records) gets closer, many practices still using paper charts are seriously wondering how they’re going to pay for this massive upgrade. While the process of conversion can be very simple (our consultants can teach you how), the expense of computers and all they systems and software has many dentists very concerned……especially our more senior practitioners who were hoping to just paint and re-do the carpeting between now and retirement.
There may however be an option to make this process a bit less painful. Currently the Federal Government has a reimbursement program that will cover a part of your new technology if your practice consists of at least 30% Medicaid patients. This is a great program offering real dollars in reimbursement to help beef up the number of practitioners accepting Medicaid and speed up the full acceptance of EHS. If you’re already in this category, might be a good time to make the switch…..the money is there and you will need to make the leap eventually.
