Mitochon Systems, the First FREE, Certified EHR, Announces Dr. Chen Successfully Attested for $18,000 in Medicare Incentives Using Their FREE EHR


SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif., Dec. 22, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dr. Hua Chen has been notified that her $18,000 dollars in incentive funds is "locked for payment." Dr. Chen said her Government Incentive Stimulus money should hit her bank account in about 6-8 weeks.

Physicians and other medical care providers may earn as much as $44,000 per provider over the next five years when qualifying for Meaningful Use of Electronic Health Records (EHR) technology as part of the health IT incentive program.

Dr. Chen complimented Mitochon Systems and their World-Class Client Services team for being there for her every step of the way, holding her hand throughout the process.

"I don't know what I would have done without them," said Dr. Chen. "Mitochon's platform is easy to use, and you are up and running within minutes. I highly recommend the company and their team of committed professionals."

Asked why she chose Mitochon's FREE EHR, Dr. Chen said that "What really attracted me to the system was learning it was designed by a group of physicians for physicians. This was important to me, as they knew firsthand what I would be encountering as I moved into the digital health world."

Dr. Andre Vovan, Mitochon's founder and Chief Medical Officer, personally called to congratulate Dr. Chen and stated how delighted he is as a physician that Mitochon can support and enable MDs participating in the digital health movement, and assist them in qualifying for substantial Meaningful Use payments. "We congratulate Dr. Chen on her achievements, and are delighted that she chose to be a member of the Mitochon Community, as opposed to paying for a system or adopting systems that have not enabled physicians to qualify for payments yet," stated Dr. Vovan.

Dr. Hua is the first of many Mitochon subscribers that will use the First FREE Certified EHR system to achieve and attest Meaningful Use, enabling our users to benefit from significant ARRA Stimulus payments and avoid late stage payment penalties from Medicare.

Mitochon Systems was founded in 2006 by Dr. Andre Vovan, MD, MBA, FCCM, who is the director of a critical care department at a large California hospital. He created a system based on the free model because the cost of traditional EHR systems makes them unaffordable for many independent physicians.
