Reminder: MIPS Value Pathways (MVP) Candidate Feedback Period Open

The public has an opportunity to provide feedback on the draft 2026 MVP candidates for 45 days. The 45-day feedback period for the 2026 rulemaking process is open and closes on January 24, 2025.

*Review Posted MVP Candidates*

Visit the Quality Payment Program (QPP) Website [ https://qpp.cms.gov/mips/candidate-feedback ] to review the *6* proposed MVP candidates available for public feedback. CMS will accept feedback on these MVP candidates through *January 24, 2025*. Please note that posting an MVP candidate doesn’t guarantee the candidate will move forward in rulemaking.

We’ll display the feedback received related to each MVP candidate on the QPP website following the 45-day feedback period. CMS won’t respond directly to any feedback received but will review and determine whether to incorporate any recommended changes into an MVP candidate. If we determine changes should be made and the candidate will move forward through rulemaking, we won’t notify the group or organization that originally proposed the MVP candidate in advance of rulemaking.

*Submit Your Feedback*

By providing feedback, you’re participating in the future of MIPS and development of MVPs. This is your opportunity to ensure MVPs align with your clinical practice needs, support your practice and patient goals, and improve the assessment of quality of care. MVP feedback should be submitted to PIMMSMVPSupport@gdit.com for consideration by 11:59 p.m. ET on January 24, 2025. Please include the following information in the email:


* *Subject Line:* Draft 2026 MVP Candidate Feedback

Reminder: MVPs Maintenance Process

CMS continues to solicit recommendations for potential updates to MVPs previously finalized for implementation through the 2025 MIPS performance period. 

We’re accepting recommendations from the general public on a rolling basis for 21 previously finalized MVPs. You can review the previously finalized MVPs on the Explore MVPs webpage [ https://qpp.cms.gov/mips/explore-mips-value-pathways?py=2024 ]. 

We’ll determine whether to address recommendations to change a previously finalized MVP through future notice and comment rulemaking. For example, recommendations to add or remove a quality measure or improvement activity.  

We’re unable to communicate with the public about whether their recommendations will be accepted ahead of rulemaking. CMS is responsible for determining whether previously finalized MVPs should be updated through future notice and comment rulemaking. 

The MVP maintenance process doesn’t include recommended changes to existing individual MIPS measures and improvement activities. Changes to individual MIPS measures and improvement activities are made through separate established processes, such as rulemaking and the annual Call for Measures and Activities and would then be reflected within any previously finalized MVPs that included those measures and activities.  

Requests for changes to previously finalized MVPs should be submitted to PIMMSMVPSupport@gdit.com for consideration. At a minimum, please provide the title of the finalized MVP and a short description of the proposed change(s) by performance category as organized in the table below and on the Maintenance Process for MVPs webpage [ https://qpp.cms.gov/mips/mvp-maintenance-process ] and in the 2025 MIPS Value Pathways (MVPs) Ongoing Maintenance Process (PDF, 243KB) [ https://qpp-cm-prod-content.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/3103/2025MVPsMaintenanceProcess.pdf ].
