Important Information About CMS and ONC EHR Certification ID Numbers and How to Obtain ThemCMS and ONC EHR Certification IDs DefinedThe unique ONC EHR Certification ID is issued by the ATCB and is associated with the CMS EHR Certification ID but distinct from it. The ONC EHR Certification ID is one of the “inputs” into the calculation and creation of the CMS EHR Certification ID. However, it is ultimately the CMS EHR Certification ID number which ECs and hospitals will use for the incentive payments. On September 8, 2016, CHPL 4.0 was replaced with the new “open data” CHPL.
