Erx

If an eligible professional participating in the Electronic Prescribing (eRx) Incentive Program completes an electronic prescription later in the day (or in the next 1-2 days) for a denominator-eligible encounter, can (s)he report on the eRx measure?

Claims may NOT be resubmitted for the sole purpose of adding or correcting an eRx code.

Thanks for your response! So if we are waiting for a culture to grow out to see if the patient is going to need a script, we just probably need to hold that charge for a couple of days to see if the G code is applicable?

Why hold it for this one? You only need to report on 25 claims in the year- one does not matter.

No, it's not just one. This is a wound care clinic and this happens quite often and we are trying to meet our requirement of 10 by June 30th. Thanks!

Did the physician write a script and submit it electronically at the time of the visit? Using G8553 says just that.

No it would be a couple of days later after getting culture results, so I'm telling the billing office manager that it should not be done since script is actually not submitted until 2-3 days later. Thanks!
