D6. What is the difference between a Certified Health IT Product List (CHPL) Product Number and a CMS EHR Certification ID?

Each certified Health IT Module on the CHPL has a “CHPL Product Number” assigned to it by the ONC-Authorized Certification Body (ONC-ACB) that certified the product. The CMS EHR Certification Identification Number is a number generated by the CHPL that represents a Health IT Module or combination of Health IT Modules, which are used for reporting EHR Incentive Programs.
