Data can be submitted and updated until 8 p.m. ET on March 31, 2025. How to Submit and Review Your 2024 MIPS Data Follow the steps outlined below to submit data: Go to the QPP sign in page. Sign in using your QPP access credentials. Submit your data for the 2024 performance year or review the data reported on your behalf by a third party. (You can't correct errors with your data after the submission period, so it's important to make sure the data submitted on your behalf is accurate.) Submission resources are available now on the QPP Resource Library. How to Sign in to the QPP Data Submission System To sign in and submit data, clinicians will need an HCQIS Authorization Roles and Profile (HARP) account and a QPP role. For help enrolling with HARP, please refer to "Step 1. Register for a HARP Account" in the QPP Access User Guide (ZIP, 4MB). For help obtaining a QPP role, please refer to "Step 2. Connect to an Organization" in the QPP Access User Guide (ZIP, 4MB). CMS encourages all users with an existing HARP account to sign into the QPP website now to ensure they don't lose access. Note: Clinicians who are unsure about their eligibility to participate in the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) for the 2024 performance year can check their final eligibility status using the QPP Participation Status Tool. Clinicians and groups that are opt-in eligible will need to make an election to opt-in or voluntarily report before they can submit data. (No election is required for opt-in eligible clinicians and groups that don't want to participate in MIPS.) Reminder: Preliminary Scoring No Longer Available During Submission As a reminder, CMS eliminated the preliminary score and preliminary category-level scores from submission. We'll release 2024 MIPS final scores in mid-June 2025. Submit Your Data Early We encourage you to submit your 2024 MIPS performance period data early during the submission period. Early submission will allow you plenty of time for Service Center assistance if needed. QPP Service Center Hold Times Due to the opening of the 2024 MIPS data submission period, the QPP Service Center projects an increase in volume between January 2, 2025, and March 31, 2025, which could result in longer wait times. CMS recommends the following to minimize wait times and ensure successful 2024 data submission: Did you know: There are a variety of ways to contact the QPP Service Center: You can schedule a call with a QPP Service Center Representative at a time that works best for you. Just go to the CCSQ Support Central page and click on Schedule a Call. You can also submit a ticket for support by clicking on Request Support and selecting Call Scheduling Options from the dropdown menu. Live Chat: CCSQ Support Central Chat and Resource Line (CARL). The Support Central Chat feature, CARL, is another option to use for assistance. To contact the QPP Service Center via Chat, go to the CCSQ Support Central page and click on the Chat icon in the lower right area: Use One Method to Report Issues Due to the anticipated increase in volume at the QPP Service Center and to minimize a backlog, please use only one method of reporting for the same issue (email, phone, or CCSQ Support Central). Note: Cases are processed in the order in which they're received, regardless of how the Service Center was contacted. Please allow time for processing. For More Information For additional information please visit the QPP Resource Library to review new and existing resources. 2025 MIPS Payment Adjustments in Effect Based on 2023 Performance In August 2024, each MIPS eligible clinician received a 2023 MIPS final score and associated payment adjustment factor(s) as part of their 2023 MIPS performance feedback, available on the QPP website. 2025 MIPS payment adjustments, based on each MIPS eligible clinician's 2023 MIPS final score, will be applied to payments made for Part B covered professional services payable under the Physician Fee Schedule from January 1 to December 31, 2025. Payment adjustments are determined by the final score associated with a clinician's Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)/National Provider Identifier (NPI) combination. MIPS eligible clinicians, identified by TIN/NPI combination for the 2023 performance year, will receive a positive, neutral, or negative MIPS payment adjustment in 2025 if they: Were a clinician type that was included in MIPS; Enrolled in Medicare prior to January 1, 2023; Weren't a Qualifying Alternative Payment Model (APM) Participant (QP); Were a Partial Qualifying APM Participant (Partial QP) that elected to participate in MIPS as a MIPS eligible clinician; and Met one of the following criteria: Individually exceeded the low-volume threshold; Were in a practice that exceeded the low-volume threshold at the group level and submitted group or APM Entity data; or Were part of an approved virtual group.
