DULUTH, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The EHR incentive checks are starting to arrive and ACOM Health, a market leader in Chiropractic EHR software, is leading the way with many of its users becoming the first to receive EHR incentive payments in 2011. ACOM Health announced this week its first chiropractor to receive maximum first year payment from the EHR stimulus program.

“We are thrilled to announce that Dr. James W. Gudgel, D.C., owner and director of Chiro-Plus in Redwood Falls, MN, just became the first ACOM Health user to receive the maximum reimbursement allowed for the first year - $18,000,” said Sam Mikhail, vice president of sales for ACOM Health. “We are very pleased to help chiropractors receive their fair share of the EHR incentives. We’ve been absolutely driven to deliver on our promise to provide a certified EHR built for the needs of chiropractors, and more importantly the training programs needed to insure that our customers meet the requirements in 2011 and receive the money.”

Dr. Gudgel is the first of many more ACOM users that are expected to qualify for payment in 2011. ACOM Health has 150+ chiropractors that have met the October 1st deadline and are now lined up to receive incentive dollars for 2011; a total of which could exceed $6 million (or $44,000 per chiropractor) over the term of the incentive program.

As a result, ACOM Health’s EHR software has been proven to be one of the best choices for chiropractors, but not just because it meets the stimulus requirements. “We’ve not compromised on the core value of EHR one bit,” Mikhail stated. “RAPID EHR simply makes chiropractors’ jobs easier, saving them about an hour per day, while demonstrably improving their documentation.”

“The great news for chiropractic,” added Mikhail, “is that the wait to see if the EHR program is real is over. Now you can feel confident that implementing a Certified Chiropractic EHR solution will put you in position to take advantage of the stimulus money in 2012.”

It is worth noting that 2012 is the last year where the early adopter incentive will be in place. Anyone that misses the 2012 deadline will completely lose out on this additional bonus, which could be as much as $5,000.
