CMS: Data Submission Window for 2024 Performance Year Closes March 31, 2025

The data submission window for the 2024 performance year is now open. You can submit data for the 2024 performance year until the submission window closes at 8 p.m. ET on March 31, 2025.

How to Submit and Review Your 2024 Merit-based Incentive Payment System (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 ensure the data submitted on your behalf is accurate.)

Submission resources are available now on the QPP Resource Library.

Highlighted Submission Resources:

• 2024 JSON Template and Instructions (ZIP, 856KB): This resource provides instructions for using the associated QPP JSON templates to submit the quality data you’ve collected for MIPS clinical quality measures.
• 2024 Traditional MIPS Data Submission User Guide (PDF, 3MB): This resource provides information and screenshots for submitting your traditional MIPS data.

How to Sign in to the QPP Data Submission System

To sign in and submit data, clinicians will need a Health Care Quality Information Systems (HCQIS) Access 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 2a. Connect to an Organization” in the QPP Access User Guide (ZIP, 4MB).

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) encourages all users with an existing HARP account to sign in to the QPP website now to ensure they don’t lose access.

Note: Clinicians who are unsure about their eligibility to participate in 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 will need to 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.) Review the 2024 MIPS Eligibility & Participation Quick Start Guide (PDF, 1MB) for more information about eligibility.

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 Your Data Early

We encourage you to submit your 2024 MIPS performance period data early during the submission period. Early submission will allow you plenty of time for QPP Service Center assistance if needed.

Upcoming QPP Service Center Hold Times

The QPP Service Center is projecting an increase in volume between now and the close of the data submission window for the 2024 performance year on March 31, 2025, which could result in longer wait times.

CMS recommends the following to minimize wait times and ensure successful 2024 data submission:

You can schedule a call with a member of the QPP Service Center team by clicking on Schedule a Call.

You can also submit a ticket for support by clicking on Request Support.

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 Service Center via chat, go to the CCSQ Support Central page and click on the “Live Chat” icon in the lower right area:

Use One Method to Report Issues

Due to the anticipated increase in volume at the QPP Service Center and to minimize a backlog, please use only one method of reporting for the same issue (email, phone, or CCSQ Support Central).

Note: Cases are processed in the order in which they’re received, regardless of how the QPP Service Center was contacted. Please allow time for processing.
