Case Study: North Texas Hand Surgery Associates achieves Meaningful Use attestation and full incentive payment with DrFirst AttestEasy

Independent Practice Attests for Meaningful Use with DrFirst

North Texas Hand Surgery Associates, a small specialty practice, struggled to meet the federal Meaningful Use requirements after implementing an EMR. The program’s complex reporting rules and limited in-house staff left the practice below threshold on multiple objectives partway through the 90-day reporting period, risking lost incentives.

DrFirst’s AttestEasy consultants stepped in to diagnose EMR reporting errors, help select appropriate menu objectives, and guide the team through attestation. With that support the practice attested on time, received its full incentive payment, and now has ongoing consulting in place to stay compliant for the current 12-month reporting period.
