The Quality Payment Program (QPP) performance year 2019 submission deadline is drawing near.
The period for eligible clinicians to submit 2019 Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) data closes at 8 p.m. EDT on April 30.
To help your practice prepare for the 2019 MIPS reporting deadline, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has made new information available in its QPP Resource Library. Here are highlights:
- In its 2019 Data Submission FAQ, CMS outlines timelines, sign-in processes, and answers to other top questions about submitting data for the performance year.
- New demonstration videos walk you through submitting data, opting in as a QPP Eligible Clinician and as a Registry, and using the CMS Web Interface.
- Additional videos cover the data submission sub-topics of file upload and quality scoring, manual attestation of improvement activities, and manual attestation of Promoting Interoperability (PI) measures.
Looking ahead to 2020 reporting? CMS has also added 2020 resources available to the library. These include MIPS Quick Start Guides, measure specifications and lists, MIPS data validation criteria, and more.
QPP launched Jan. 1, 2017. Its goals include improving beneficiary population health, improving care received by Medicare beneficiaries, and lowering costs, among others. The program has two participation tracks: MIPS and Alternative Payment Model (APM). To learn more about MIPS, APMs, and the language of value-based care ahead of the 2019 MIPS reporting deadline, read on.
