Registration is open through July 1, 2024, at 8 p.m. ET for the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) for the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) Survey for the 2024 performance year.
Groups, virtual groups, and Alternative Payment Model (APM) Entities with 2 or more clinicians (including at least one MIPS eligible clinician) can register to administer the CAHPS for MIPS Survey for traditional MIPS; groups and APM Entities (excluding Medicare Shared Savings Program Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs)) with 2 or more clinicians that choose to report the APM Performance Pathway (APP) must register to administer the survey; groups, subgroups and APM Entities with 2 or more clinicians reporting a MIPS Value Pathway (MVP) can register to administer the survey.
Who doesn’t need to register?
- Medicare Shared Savings Program ACOs
- These ACOs are required to report through the APP so they’re automatically registered for the CAHPS for MIPS Survey, which is required under the APP
- These ACOs don’t need to register but will still need to hire a CMS-approved vendor to administer the CAHPS for MIPS Survey
Who must register?
- Groups and APM Entities (other than Shared Savings Program ACOs) with 2 or more clinicians (including at least one MIPS eligible clinician) that choose to report through the APP must register because the CAHPS for MIPS Survey is a required measure under the APP
- Groups, virtual groups, and APM Entities with 2 or more clinicians (including at least one MIPS eligible clinician) that intend to administer the CAHPS for MIPS Survey as 1 of their 6 quality measures for reporting traditional MIPS
- Groups, subgroups, and APM Entities with 2 or more clinicians (including at least one MIPS eligible clinician) that are registered to report the following MVPs and intend to administer the CAHPS for MIPS Survey as 1 of their 4 quality measures:
- Adopting Best Practices and Promoting Patient Safety within Emergency Medicine MVP
- Advancing Cancer Care MVP
- Value in Primary Care MVP
