The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced that it will again allow physicians to present their case to be exempted from the 2012 e-prescribing (eRx) penalty program. Contact CMS’ Quality Net Help Desk if you have not received a formal notice regarding the final status of an exemption request, or if you believe a mistake led to an eRx penalty. If you previously contacted the CMS, you are encouraged to contact CMS for a second time. Contact CMS’ Quality Net Help Desk at (866) 288-8912 or at qnetsupport@sdps.org.
