New ePIP Incentive Payments

The new PIP eHealth Incentive will commence from August 2009. The Incentive aims to encourage use of electronic health systems in PIP practices. The PIP eHealth Incentive will replace the existing PIP IM/IT Incentive and the PIP Electronic Decision Support Incentive, which began in August 2008 (i.e. the PIP IM/IT Incentive will cease from August 2009). The new eHealth Incentive aims to encourage general practice to move to using electronic decision support systems through consolidating the PIP IM/IT and the Electronic Decision Support Incentive. The eHealth Incentive would be incorporated into the PIP payments with a payment level of $6.50 per standardised whole patient equivalent (SWPE). Payments will be capped at $12,500 per practice per quarter, up to a maximum of $50,000 per year.
