To assist providers in making this transition, CMS has created significant and attractive financial incentives: a maximum payment of $44,000 per eligible professional (MD, DO, DMD, DDS, DPM, DC, OD) for Medicare, and up to $63,750 per EP for Medicaid.

• Registering with CMS and receive an ID number.
• Completing an attestation each year.
