RE: Getting Exempt or Penalized from eRx (Tony Poggio, DPM)
From: David Taylor, DPM

We successfully opted out of the eRx "program". The vast majority of our Medicare patients are diabetic, returning for established problems that do not require an E and M code necessary to to satisfy the eRx requirement. In addition, Allscripts charges $20 per doctor per month to use their app on a smart phone (It is free for a desktop computer).  Check the Medicare website and you will find the information. Once you find the form, you can submit it electronically.
