The last day for eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals to begin their 90-day reporting period for this fiscal year for the Medicare EHR incentive program is July 3, 2011. Hospitals and critical access hospitals must begin their 90-day reporting period by this date if they still want to successfully demonstrate meaningful use and receive an incentive payment for the 2011 fiscal year. September 30, 201 is the end of the reporting year for eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals.
