How do I know whether my learners are required to participate in a Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) Improvement Activity: Completion of an Accredited Safety or Quality Improvement Program to obtain the financial incentives associated with MIPS?
Clinicians can determine their status in the Quality Payment Program (QPP) by entering their 10-digit National Provider Identifier (NPI) number in this CMS lookup tool.
Clinicians in organizations that are participating in Advanced Alternative Payment Models (Advanced APMs) or meeting MIPS requirements through other methods [e.g., Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR), Qualified Registry, Electronic Health Record (EHR)] may not be required to participate in additional Improvement Activities. Consult with your office or system administrator to determine how your organization is participating in the MIPS program.
