Hey, remember that little thing called Meaningful Use? And how there were proposed rule changes that were to be made and announced this year? Where are they? CMS has nothing on their website and I've not heard any chatter lately. Things are no doubt being overshadowed by ICD-10, but MU is still out there...
Rumor has it that the finalized rules will be posted shortly after Labor Day...
I've got a beer riding on this Friday (before labor day of course) at about 4:55 PM EST, price is right rules.
My guess is they announce on 9/14/15 @ noon. Complete guess on my part as I have no inside info.......My thought process is if Labor Day was the target they will be at least a week late.
This would be yet another time I wish I could "like" your commentary on here, Mike! But I guess I can just settle for "useful" 🙂
I have a contact that apparently has a connection at the ONC that neither denied nor confirmed his assessment that they tend to make announcements on Fridays, end of day, and typically before a holiday weekend. So, I'm going to place my bets on this Friday as well...
MGMA Pushes CMS to Extend MU Reporting Period

Hahah thanks Paula - I'm happy to extend the bet. I think I went a little high on the 4:55 so anything before is still open. My compadre has the following Friday, he's going for broke.
6pm on Friday before the holiday - always after the HHS COB
Upset city! If they keep waiting I'm going to go broke buying people beers - and here I thought I had the lock.
and then depression sets in.....
We'll at least they submitted them for final approval before labor day, can I get an O'Douls for that at least?

Has anyone heard news on the proposed MU changes?
When will they announce whether it is approved or not?
It is the 29th! Any news? I still can not find any updates? Are they going to wait until the 11th hour?
