The 2019 MIPS Performance Period Self-Nomination Period is Opening Tomorrow (9/1)

The 2019 MIPS Performance Period Self-Nomination Period for QCDRs and Qualified Registries is Opening Tomorrow, September 1st

As of Saturday, September 1st, the Self-Nomination Period will be open for third party intermediaries that would like to become Qualified Clinical Data Registries (QCDR) and Qualified Registries for the 2019 Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) Performance Period. Qualified Registries and QCDRs are CMS-approved vendors that collect clinical data on behalf of clinicians for data submission to CMS for the MIPS program. Please note that eligible clinicians wishing to submit for the 2019 performance period of MIPS via a Qualified Registry or QCDR do NOT need to self-nominate. Only entities wishing to participate (and who meet the requirements) as a Qualified Registry and/or QCDR need to complete the self-nomination form.

To complete the self-nomination form, please go to JIRA and ensure a member of your organization has an account. There are two self-nomination forms available for completion: the standard 2019 Self-Nomination Form and the 2019 Simplified Self-Nomination Form. Please note, the 2019 Simplified Self-Nomination Form is only available to previously approved QCDRs and Qualified Registries in good program standing. The 2018 qualified vendors that are on probation, as well as prospective QCDRs and Qualified Registries will be unable to self-nominate using the 2019 Simplified Self-Nomination Form. If your organization is eligible to complete the 2019 Simplified Self-Nomination Form, you will receive an e-mail detailing further instructions.
