Now Available: Advanced Alternative Payment Model (APM) Incentive Payments for 2024

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has posted the Advanced Alternative Payment Model (APM) Incentive Payments for 2024 (ZIP, 3 MB) [ https://qpp-cm-prod-content.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2925/2024-Learning-Resources-for-QP-Status-and-APM-Incentive-Payment.zip ] on the Quality Payment Program (QPP) Resource Library [ https://qpp.cms.gov/resources/resource-library ]. This resource provides information about the amount of Advanced APM incentive payments that were paid to eligible clinicians this year based on their participation in Qualifying APM Participant (QP) Performance Period 2022.

*Access APM Incentive Payment Details*

CMS has taken time to ensure correct payment and information are available during the 2024 payment year. CMS's process includes verifying eligible clinicians' Advanced APM participation and the calculation of the APM Incentive Payment. You can now log in to the QPP website [ https://qpp.cms.gov/login ] using your HARP credentials (ZIP, 3 MB) [ https://qpp-cm-prod-content.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/335/QPP%20Access%20User%20Guide.zip ]  to see the amount your organization was paid for both the 10-digit National Provider Identifier (NPI) and the organization.

If you have not received your payment, you should check for your name on the 2024 QP Notice for APM Incentive Payment ZIP File (ZIP, 599 KB) [ https://qpp-cm-prod-content.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2924/2024-QP-Notice-for-APM-Incentive-Payment.zip ], which indicates that you will need to verify your Medicare billing information. If you do not verify your Medicare billing information by September 1, 2024, then CMS will not be able to issue your APM Incentive Payment. For instructions on how to verify your Medicare billing information, review the Zip File (ZIP, 599 KB) [ https://qpp-cm-prod-content.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2924/2024-QP-Notice-for-APM-Incentive-Payment.zip ].

*What Do I Need to Do in Order to Receive the APM Incentive Payment?*

You will not need to do anything to receive your payment, unless CMS is unable to verify your Medicare billing information.
