Most physicians see the benefit of implementing an EHR system; they just don’t have the budget to do it. We’ve paired with OptumHealth Bank to offer physicians a unique package that combines interest-free financing, health information technology (HIT) services, and performance guarantees to help physicians integrate HIT into their practices.

How it Works
Qualifying U.S. physicians can receive an interest-free loan from Ingenix (underwritten by OptumHealth Bank, Member FDIC) to license and implement CareTracker™ EHR, a low-cost, full-functioning electronic health record (EHR), with no out-of-pocket costs and no payments until 2011*. When the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) reimbursements for EHRs begin in 2011, physicians can repay the loans with annual reimbursement dollars they receive from the incentives authorized in the stimulus bill.

Meaningful Use
Under the terms of the ARRA, physicians can receive up to $44,000 in Medicare reimbursements over five years for implementing an EHR and demonstrating meaningful use of the technology. We guarantee that CareTracker EHR will support the “meaningful use” requirements physicians must meet to be eligible for the maximum Medicare reimbursements allowed under the ARRA.
