17. Rural GA Physician Outreach Bus Tour To provide assistance and education of programs to local physicians. The driving force of the bus tour is the urgent need to provide rural physicians with assistance with the MU attestation process required to receive their Medicaid Incentive funds with Stage One attestation deadlines approaching for the final round before penalties began. Equally important is the need to raise physician’s awareness of secure messaging and health information exchange and the vital role it plays in coordinated care and improved health outcomes of their patients. • Meaningful Use Attestation or Hardship Exemption by July 1 to avoid penalty in 2015 • Medicaid Incentive Program, • Direct Messaging, • Health Information Exchange, • ICD-10, and more!
