2021 Quality Payment Program Performance Information Preview Now Available

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has opened access for physicians and other clinicians to view their 2021 Quality Payment Program (QPP) performance data in a month-long Preview Period ending on December 20, 2022 at 8 p.m. ET. This period allows eligible clinicians (ECs) to review their performance data and profile information on the QPP website before it becomes publicly available on Medicare Care Compare and in the Provider Data Catalog (PDC).

ASA recommends that eligible clinicians review their profiles and metrics to check for discrepancies before the Preview Period closes. Any errors should be reported to the QPP Service Center at 1-866-288-8292 (Monday-Friday 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. ET) or by e-mail at [email protected].

Accountable Care Organization (ACO)-level data is not available during this preview period. However, ECs participating in an ACO can review their quality performance in the 2021 Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) Performance Feedback Reports.
