1. POSP Phase 2 Funding: For a physician currently enrolled in POSP and receiving Phase 2 funding:

a. Level 1.0 - Participants are eligible to continue to receive current grant funding of $87.50/month through to the end of their 48 month period. No extensions to this timeframe are available, and no new enrolment in Level 1.0 will be offered.

b. Level 1.5 - Participants are eligible to continue to receive current Phase 2 grant funding of $233.33/month through to the end of their 48-month period. At the end of the 48-month period, these participants will be eligible to continue with Level 1.5 funding under Phase 3 Level 1.5 guidelines without submitting a new letter of agreement to POSP.

c. Level 2.0 - Participants are eligible to continue to receive current Phase 2 grant funding of $740/month through to the end of their 48-month period.

i. At the end of the 48 month period, these participants are eligible to continue with Level 2.0 funding under Phase 3 Level 2.0 guidelines. However, these participants must first submit a letter of agreement, an enrolment form, and a commitment to transition form to POSP for Phase 3 funding.

ii. A physician currently enrolled in POSP and receiving Level 2 funding must be using a VCUR 2006 physician office system solution.

d. Phase 2 funding will end when the physician goes live with a VCUR 2008 physician office system solution from a QSP. This is referred to as Milestone 3 - Go-Live of Physician Office System (as defined in the Administration Requirements for Invoice-Based Reimbursement)

e. For all Phase 2 VCUR 2006 solutions, each physician is required to meet usage measures as outlined in the Usage measure Requirements for VCUR 2006 EMRs. A physician who is unable to meet these VCUR 2006 EMR usage measures is subject to the conditions outlined in the General Guidelines section of these overall program guidelines.
