To attest to 2015 or 2016 meaningful use, a provider must attest in MEIPASS and also submit the Meaningful Use Workbook.

The completed Meaningful Use Workbook must be sent to attestation@health.ny.gov for review. After receiving verification from NY Medicaid about receipt of your meaningful use data, mail a hard copy of the Meaningful Use Workbook along with a signed hard copy of the MEIPASS Attestation Document to the NY Medicaid EHR Incentive Program Administration Support Services Team. Append the workbook to the end.
