My Health Record - Practice Incentive Program (ePIP)
Just a friendly reminder to those ePIP registered practices that 31 January marks the end of another ePIP quarter and to ensure that you have met your ePIP target in terms of Shared Health Summary (SHS) uploads.
To check your practice’s target SHS for the next quarter online, select the update function on the Incentive Summary screen of your practice profile in PIP Online.
If your practice is not going to meet the target, you must opt-out of that payment quarter. You need to make sure you do this online by the point-in-time date before the payment month.
Opting out of a payment quarter means you’re still registered for the eHealth Incentive, but you won’t get a payment for the quarter you opted out of. You’ll be automatically opted back in for the next payment quarter. You need to monitor your SHS uploads each quarter.
Withdrawing from the eHealth Incentive is not the same as opting out.
If you choose to withdraw from the eHealth Incentive, it means you’re no longer registered to participate in the Incentive. You won’t get any more payments unless you re-apply for the eHealth Incentive.
You can re-apply for the eHealth Incentive through HPOS.
