ARRA Report

The ARRA report, which is available in PCC’s Practice Management window, calculates Medicaid plan utilization at your practice. You can use it to see the percentage of patient visits that are medicaid or medicaid eligible, broken out by physician. This report was designed to help your office determine if you qualified for the EHR Medicaid Incentive Program, but it may serve other purposes. You can run the report from a command prompt or from a custom Partner window location.

Follow the steps below to run the ARRA report.

Run ARRA

Type arra at a command prompt to run the program. PCC Support can add arra to one of your custom Partner windows upon request.

The arra report can calculate 90 days from any date you enter, or you can select a calendar year.

Stage 1 calculation guidelines include visits with applied Medicaid payments. Stage 2 calculation includes all visits during which the patient had an active Medicaid plan, even if Medicaid made no payment.
