CMS Extends MIPS 2017 Data Submission Deadline to April 3

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has announced that eligible clinicians participating in the Quality Payment Program (QPP) now have until Tuesday, April 3, 2018, at 8 PM EDT to submit their 2017 MIPS performance data. Eligible clinicans can submit their performance data using the new feature on the Quality Payment Program website.

Note: For groups that missed the March 16 CMS Web Interface data submission deadline, it’s not too late to submit your data through another mechanism.

How to Get Started
Go to qpp.cms.gov and click on “sign in” on the top right side of the web page.

• Log into the Quality Payment Program data submission feature using your Enterprise Identity Management (EIDM) credentials user name and password. If you don’t have an EIDM account, you’ll need to obtain one. Review this EIDM user guide and get started with the process as soon as possible. Currently, you should allow at least 5 business days for EIDM requests to be processed.
• After logging in, the feature will connect you to the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) associated with your National Provider Identifier (NPI).
• You’ll be able to report data either as an individual or as a group. Be sure to login and get familiar with the feature before you submit your data.

For questions or help using the data submission feature, contact the Quality Payment Program by email at qpp@cms.hhs.gov or toll free at 1-866-288-8292.
