MIPS EIDM Guide This guide is for users who need an Enterprise Identity Data Management (EIDM) account and/or ‘Physician Quality and Value Program’ role to submit or access QPP data.
MIPS Submission Process This video provides a thorough review of the MIPS attestation web site. It includes information on scoring, the 3 domains being scored for 2017, along with information on how to utilize it and fill out your attestation information. It also includes information on how the system works with your registry if you are using one.
CMS has published a table displaying the Alternative Payment Models (APMs) that CMS operates. In the table CMS identifies which of those APMs CMS has determined to be MIPS APMs or Advanced APMs.
APM Lookup Tool Curious to know how QPP lookup tools for APM and MIPS Clinicians work? Clinicians simply enter their National Provider Identifier and receive their QPP APM eligibility and participation requirements. APM participants should use the APM Lookup Tool to check their status, not the MIPS Lookup Tool. The MIPS Lookup Tool doesn't reflect APM participation. If conflicts arise between the QP and MIPS Lookup Tools, CMS will base APM clinician status on results from the APM Lookup tool.
