Wiki 2010 e-Prescribe G code

Anyone participating in the e-Prescribe incentive program? How do I know if my e-prescribe system qualifies(we use AllScripts version10).

We use Allscripts and use G8553 if an e-rx was done.

Does anyone know if G8553 is reserved for those patients who have Traditional Medicare part B or can it be reported to the Medicare Advantage Plans as well?

Thanks,

I have a question. Does one put in another G code if no prescription was ordered?

It is my understanding that this only applied to Traditional Medicare. You can add it to the other codes but it will not count toward your incentive.

Ok. Thank you.
