To clarify, these subsidies come in the form of medicare/medicaid reimbursements. The reimbursements are also PER DOCTOR. For the doctors to receive the full amount, they'd have to be seeing medicare/medicaid patients and to start using the EHR system in the next year. After 2018 these incentives turn into penalties, in the form of less medicare/medicaid money received per patient.
