New Electronic Process for Partial QPs in the Quality Payment Program


The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) would like to share the new electronic process for the election of Partial Qualifying Alternative Payment Model (APM) Participants (Partial QPs) to participate in the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS).  

Historically, the election for Partial QP clinicians to participate in MIPS has been done by completing the Partial QP election form and emailing it to the Quality Payment Program (QPP) Help Desk.  

*This process will no longer exist starting in calendar year (CY) 2025* and will be replaced by a new, direct process through the QPP online application. 

*What’s the New Process?* 

We're incorporating the Partial QP election process into the online QPP application [ https://qpp.cms.gov/login ].  

The new process will be available to users when submissions open on *January 2, 2025*. The submission window closes on *March 31, 2025*. 

*Questions?* 

Please contact the QPP Help Desk at: QPP@cms.hhs.gov.
