Physicians are invited to participate in a conference call on electronic prescribing from 3:30-5:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday, Nov. 19. Hosted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the call will provide an overview of Medicare Part D e-prescribing standards and information on e-prescribing resources, incentives and measures that are part of a new program for eligible professionals who are, as defined by the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008, successful e-prescribers. The new program removes the e-prescribing measure from the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative for 2009.

 

To participate in the call, dial (800) 837-1935 and use the reference conference identification number 71918357. Capacity is limited; callers may begin dialing in at 3:15 p.m. EST.
