If your Answer matches;
Use Interactive Hardship Exception Tool to determine if you will avoid the upcoming 2015 and 2016 Medicare EHR Incentive Program Payment adjustments by demonstrating meaningful use, or it you should apply for a hardship exception.
Meaningful Use Hardship Exception filing deadline is approaching. Eligible professionals may be exempt from payment adjustments if they can show that demonstrating meaningful use would result in a significant hardship. To be considered for an exception, an eligible professional must complete a Hardship Exception application along with proof of the hardship. If approved, the hardship exception is valid for 1 payment year only. A new application must be submitted if the hardship continues for the following payment year. In no case may a provider be granted an exception for more than 5 years.
