Of 256,000 eligible professionals subject to “payment adjustments” in 2015, the data shows that:

•    Thirty-four percent will lose $250 or less
•    Twenty-one percent will lose $250 to $1000
•    Fourteen percent will lose $1000 to $2000
•    Thirty-one percent will be fined $2000 or more

According to the report, the AMA noted in an emailed statement that it was “alarmed by [the] announcement that more than three quarters of eligible professionals have still been unable to attest to meaningful use.”
