Final Reminder: Register for CMS Web Interface and CAHPS for MIPS Survey for 2022 Performance Period; Final Reminder: 2022 Call for MIPS Promoting Interoperability Measures and Improvement Activities is Closing

Final Reminder: Register for CMS Web Interface and CAHPS for MIPS Survey for 2022 Performance Period by June 30 Final Reminder: 2022 Call for MIPS Promoting Interoperability Measures and Improvement Activities Closes July 1 Final Reminder: Register for CMS Web Interface and CAHPS for MIPS Survey for 2022 Performance Period by June 30 Registration is closing for the CMS Web Interface and Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) for the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) Survey for the 2022 performance period.  Groups, virtual groups, and Alternative Payment Model (APM) Entities with 25 or more clinicians (including at least one MIPS eligible clinician) can register through tomorrow, June 30, 2022, to use the CMS Web Interface for reporting quality measures under traditional MIPS.  Groups, virtual groups, and APM Entities with 2 or more clinicians (including at least one MIPS eligible clinician) can register through 2022 to administer the CAHPS for MIPS Survey under traditional MIPS or the APM Performance Pathway (APP).  Groups, virtual groups and APM Entities only need to register if they intend to report through the CMS Web Interface and/or administer the CAHPS for MIPS Survey for the 2022 performance period.  NOTE: Medicare Shared Savings Program Accountable Care Organizations (Shared Savings Program ACOs) don't need to register. Shared Savings Program ACOs are automatically registered for the CMS Web Interface and CAHPS for MIPS Survey, as they're required to meet reporting requirements for the quality performance category under the APP.  While Shared Savings Program ACOs are automatically registered for the CMS Web Interface, they aren't required to report their quality data via the CMS Web Interface. Alternatively, they can choose to meet the APP quality requirements by reporting the 3 required electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs) or MIPS clinical quality measures (MIPS CQMs).  The CAHPS for MIPS Survey is required under the APP. Though automatically registered, Shared Savings Program ACOs will still need to hire a CMS-approved vendor to administer the CAHPS for MIPS Survey.  How to Register  If your group, virtual group, or APM Entity (other than a Shared Savings Program ACO) would like to submit quality measures for traditional MIPS using the CMS Web Interface and/or administer the CAHPS for MIPS Survey (for traditional MIPS or the APP) for the 2022 performance period, you must register by 8 p.m. ET on June 30, 2022. You may edit or cancel your registration at any time during the registration period.     To register, please log in to the Quality Payment Program (QPP) website. You'll need to have the Security Official role in order to register your organization. Please refer to the QPP Access User Guide (ZIP) for information about obtaining a Security Official role for your organization. You can register by:  Signing in to QPP.  Going to the Manage Access page.  Clicking "Edit Registration" by 8 p.m. ET on June 30, 2022.  Please Note the Following:  Groups, virtual groups, and APM Entities that submitted data for the quality performance category via the CMS Web Interface for the 2021 performance period will be automatically registered for the CMS Web Interface for the 2022 performance period, unless you cancel your registration.  However, if your group, virtual group, or APM Entity registered to administer the CAHPS for MIPS Survey for the 2021 performance period, you'll need to register to administer the CAHPS for MIPS Survey for the 2022 performance period.  Registered groups, virtual groups, and APM Entities (including Shared Savings Program ACOs) that elect to administer the CAHPS for MIPS Survey will need to hire a CMS-approved vendor to administer the survey. If you don't plan to administer the CAHPS for MIPS Survey for the 2022 performance period, we encourage you to cancel your registration by 8 p.m. ET on June 30, 2022.  Additional Resources  How to Register for the CMS Web Interface and the CAHPS for MIPS Survey  2022 CAHPS for MIPS Overview Fact Sheet (PDF)   Final Reminder: 2022 Call for MIPS Promoting Interoperability Measures and Improvement Activities Closes July 1 CMS reminds you to submit Promoting Interoperability measures and improvement activities for consideration for future years of MIPS. The MIPS Annual Call for Measures and Activities process allows clinicians, professional associations and medical societies that represent clinicians, researchers, consumer groups, and others to identify and submit measures and activities. Currently, we are accepting submissions for:    Measures for the Promoting Interoperability performance category  Activities for the improvement activities performance category  What We're Looking For  For Promoting Interoperability: CMS is looking for specific measures that build on the advanced use of certified EHR technology (CEHRT) using 2015 Edition Certification Standards and Criteria; promote interoperability and health information exchange; improve program efficiency, effectiveness, and flexibility; provide patients access to their health information; reduce clinician burden; and align with the MIPS improvement activities and quality performance categories.  For Improvement Activities: CMS is looking for activities that can be considered higher than the standard of care. This means that the sets of practices or activities being proposed for consideration exceed defined, commonly accepted guidelines for level of quality or attainment in clinical care or quality improvement guidelines. CMS will not accept duplicative concepts to existing or retired activities.  How to Submit Measures and Activities  If you're interested in proposing new measures and activities for MIPS, review the 2022 Call for Measures and Activities Overview Fact Sheet in this toolkit (zip) and fill out and submit the forms from the toolkit for the following performance categories during the specified submission periods:  Promoting Interoperability Performance Category (Submission Period: February 1 – July 1, 2022 for 2024 measures)  Improvement Activities Performance Category (Submission Period: February 1 – July 1, 2022 for 2024 activities)  For More Information  Download the 2022 MIPS Call for Measures and Activities (zip) in the QPP Resource Library.    You're getting this message because you subscribed to get email updates from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
