PA REACH East Announces Free Assistance

PA REACH East has waived all fees for providers participating in the program - this includes newly recruited practices and those already participating.

This means providers signing up for the program will no longer be required to pay the $200 consulting fee, and early adopters will receive a refund.

We are able to implement these exciting changes due to three factors:

• New guidance from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (our grant funding source), extending the completion date for the program

• Feedback from practices, indicating that the fees are a limiting step to participation

• A strong, mission-based commitment from PA REACH East leadership to recruit and assist as many practices as possible.

The free assistance offer is subject to change, depending on the number of recruited participants and the availability of funds.  That’s why it’s imperative for interested practices to sign up immediately.

These changes are applicable to practices working directly with PA REACH East or through one of its grant partners.  Note that the guidelines for eligible practices have not changed.  We anticipate providing complete details, including new contract language, later this week. 

We are truly pleased to announce these program enhancements and believe they will move EHR adoption and meaningful use forward.  Should you have any questions, please let us know - 1.877.725.9998.
