Begin Preparing for 2024 MIPS Data Submission

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will open data submission on January 2, 2025 for Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) eligible clinicians who participated in the 2024 performance year of the Quality Payment Program (QPP). Data can be submitted and updated until 8 p.m. ET on March 31, 2025.

*How to Sign in to the QPP Data Submission System*

To sign in and submit data, clinicians will need a Health Care Quality Information Systems (HCQIS) Access 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 Quality Payment Program Access User Guide (ZIP, 4MB) [ https://qpp-cm-prod-content.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2955/QPP-Access-User-Guide.zip ]. For help obtaining a QPP role, please refer to “Step 2a. Connect to an Organization” in the Quality Payment Program Access User Guide (ZIP, 4MB) [ https://qpp-cm-prod-content.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2955/QPP-Access-User-Guide.zip ].

CMS encourages all users with an existing HARP account to sign in to the QPP website [ https://qpp.cms.gov/login ] now to ensure they don’t lose access.

Note: Clinicians who are unsure about their eligibility to participate in MIPS for the 2024 performance year can check their final eligibility status using the QPP Participation Status Tool [ https://qpp.cms.gov/participation-lookup ]. Clinicians and groups that are opt-in eligible must 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.)

*How to Sign in to the QPP Data Submission System*

To submit data:


* Go to the QPP sign in page [ https://qpp.cms.gov/login ].
* Sign in using your QPP access credentials.
* Submit your MIPS 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 ensure the data submitted on your behalf is accurate).

*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 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 QPP Service Center assistance if needed.

Upcoming QPP Service Center Hold Times

Due to the opening of the 2024 MIPS data submission period, the QPP Service Center is projecting 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 [ https://cmsqualitysupport.servicenowservices.com/ccsq_support_central ] page and click on Schedule a Call.

*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 Center [ https://qpp.cms.gov/resources/resource-library ] to review new and existing resources.
