A. There are no specific provisions under ARRA to incentivize providers other than through Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement. However, the door is open for HHS to offer additional incentives after 2011 based on adoption levels. Also, industry experts predict that private insurers will follow suit and begin to offer incentives and/or penalties based on certain meaningful use criteria, including reporting of quality measures.
