Just stop it!! Don’t comply. Use the lois lerner defense. !! “opps my computer hard drive was destroyed by accident with a hammer!!” . Screw obama.
Easy to say if you don't get any of your payments from the government, reality is that the penalty for not complying goes up exponentially each year until the Doctor is forced out of practice or into employment with a large provider. So if you are an older Doctor you are pretty well screwed as are the patients.
For the most part you can’t bill without an EMR. That and they just made the coding much more difficult, you need the computer just to get the billable codes.
Obama would be pleased as punch if you don’t comply, basically you would be giving away your services for free.
