The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has opened data submission for the 2024 performance year of the Quality Payment Program (“QPP). Providers can submit and update data until 8 p.m. ET on March 31, 2025.
How to Submit and Review Your 2024 MIPS Data
Follow the steps outlined below to submit data:
- Go to the QPP sign in page.
- Sign in using your QPP access credentials.
- Submit your 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 make sure the data submitted on your behalf is accurate.)
Submission resources are available on the QPP Resource Library.
How to Sign To QPP Data Submission System
To sign in and submit data, clinicians will need an HCQIS Authorization 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 QPP Access User Guide (ZIP, 4MB). For help obtaining a QPP role, please refer to “Step 2. Connect to an Organization” in the QPP Access User Guide (ZIP, 4MB).
CMS encourages all users with an existing HARP account to sign into the QPP websitenow to ensure they don’t lose access.
Note: Clinicians unsure about their eligibility to participate in the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) for the 2024 performance year can check their final eligibility status using the QPP Participation Status Tool. 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.)
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 MIPS final scores in mid-June 2025.
Submit Early
CMS encourages providers to submit 2024 MIPS performance period data early during the submission period to allow plenty of time for Service Center assistance if needed.
The QPP Service Center projects an increase in volume between January 2, 2025, and March 31, 2025.
There are a variety of ways to contact the QPP Service Center for submitters needing help:
- 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 page and click on Schedule a Call.
- You can also submit a ticket for support by clicking on Request Support and selecting Call Scheduling Options from the dropdown menu.
- Live Chat: CCSQ Support Central Chat and Resource Line (CARL). The Support Central Chat feature, CARL, is another option to use for assistance. To contact the QPP Service Center via Chat, go to the CCSQ Support Central page and click on the Chat icon in the lower right area:
Due to the anticipated increase in volume at the QPP Service Center and to minimize a backlog, CMS asks providers to use only one method of reporting for the same issue (email, phone, or CCSQ Support Central). CMS processes cases in the order received, regardless of how the Service Center was contacted. Please allow time for processing.
