To prevent any delays in receiving your incentive payment for 2012,  make sure your providers are registered!  For the Medicare Incentive program providers will need to be registered in the NLR (national level registry).  For the Medicaid Incentive program, providers will need to be registered in the NLR  and the SLR (state level registry).
