Ready on e-prescribing? AHRQ's here to help

The deadline's this month, you know. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality offers to set you up.

You know some EHR deadlines have been rolling up, and a few pushed back -- the eligibility appeal, for example, was moved from the end of March to the end of April.

But that's not going to happen with e-prescribing. You have to report 10 e-scrips by June 30 or you'll be docked a 1.5% payment adjustment on Part B services for 2013.

Need help? Last month AHRQ posted a couple of toolkits -- one for independent pharmacies, one for physicians' offices. Some of it's promo, like flyers and handouts, but there are some items useful for getting it going, like a sample task table that lays out the steps for getting pharmacies online with your practice.

Still not convinced you can make it? Then let David Zetter talk you through the hardship exemption process.

Good luck!
