Check Final 2024 MIPS Eligibility Status

Enter your 10-digit National Provider Identifier (NPI) in the Quality Payment Program (QPP) Participation Status Tool [ https://qpp.cms.gov/participation-lookup ] and review your final 2024 eligibility status for the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS).

We’ve updated your eligibility status based on our review of Medicare Part B claims and Medicare Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System (PECOS) data from the second segment of the MIPS Eligibility Determination Period [ https://qpp.cms.gov/mips/mips-eligibility-determination-periods ] (October 1, 2023 – September 30, 2024).


* This status is final unless you participate in an Advanced Alternative Payment Model (APM) [ https://qpp.cms.gov/apms/advanced-apms ] and your Qualifying APM Participant (QP) status changes as a result of the third APM Snapshot for the 2024 performance year.
* Results from the third APM Snapshot will also be available in December 2024 and will be announced through the QPP listserv.

*Review Your 2024 Eligibility*

Your status may have changed, so we encourage you to use the QPP Participation Status Tool [ https://qpp.cms.gov/participation-lookup ] to confirm your final 2024 MIPS eligibility status.


* If you were *initially eligible for MIPS* at a particular practice, your eligibility status could have changed, and you may no longer be eligible at that practice. Check to make sure you’re still eligible.
* If you were *initially ineligible for MIPS* at a particular practice, your eligibility status didn’t change at that practice.
* If you *joined a new practice* (meaning you billed under, or assigned your billing rights to, a new or different Tax Identification Number (TIN)) *between October 1, 2023, and September 30, 2024*, you need to check your eligibility status at this new practice.
* If you’re a clinician that *joined a new practice after September 30, 2024*, you aren’t eligible for MIPS as an individual based on your association with that new practice (identified by TIN). However, you will receive a MIPS payment adjustment if the practice chooses to participate in MIPS as a group.

*For More Information*

Learn How MIPS Eligibility Is Determined [ https://qpp.cms.gov/mips/how-eligibility-is-determined ] on the Quality Payment Program website [ https://qpp.cms.gov/ ] and check out the following resources:

Opt-In and Voluntary Reporting Options for 2024

*Participation Options for Clinicians and Groups Not Eligible for MIPS*

Clinicians and groups that aren’t eligible for MIPS can still report data via traditional MIPS [ https://qpp.cms.gov/mips/traditional-mips ]. Clinicians and groups who are identified as “opt-in eligible” on the QPP Participation Status Tool [ https://qpp.cms.gov/participation-lookup ] can:


* Elect to* Opt-in to MIPS. *You’ll *receive a MIPS payment adjustment* (positive, negative, or neutral).
* Elect to *Voluntarily Report*. You *won’t receive a MIPS payment adjustment*.

Note: Once you make your election, your election is binding and irreversible.

Clinicians and groups who are excluded from MIPS and aren’t “opt-in eligible” may choose to voluntarily report data for traditional MIPS (no election required for these clinicians) but they won’t receive a MIPS payment adjustment.

Note: MIPS APM Participants who are “opt-in” eligible also have the option to elect to opt-in and report using the APM Performance Pathway (APP) [ https://qpp.cms.gov/mips/apm-performance-pathway ].

*Opt-In Elections*


* Opt-in eligible clinicians and groups who wish to submit data will need to complete an election to opt-in or voluntarily report in MIPS by signing in to the QPP website [ https://qpp.cms.gov/login ].
* Qualified Clinical Data Registries (QCDRs) and Qualified Registries can also submit elections on behalf of these clinicians and groups.
* Elections can be made once the 2024 MIPS submission period opens on January 2, 2025.

*For More Information*

The 2024 MIPS Opt-In and Voluntary Reporting Election Guide will be available on the QPP Resource Library [ https://qpp.cms.gov/resources/resource-library ] by the start of the submission period, but the process is the same as it was for 2023. You can review the 2023 MIPS Opt-In and Voluntary Reporting Guide (PDF, 1MB) [ https://qpp-cm-prod-content.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2627/2023OptInVolReportGuide.pdf ] now.
