Groups, virtual groups, and APM Entities must have 2 or more clinicians (including at least 1 MIPS eligible clinician) to register to administer for the CAHPS for MIPS Survey.
NOTE: APM Entities, specifically Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) participating in the Medicare Shared Savings Program or the Next Generation ACO Model, do not need to register to use the CMS Web Interface or administer the CAHPS for MIPS Survey because they are required to submit data via the CMS Web interface and administer the CAHPS for ACO Survey.

If your group or virtual group submitted data for the Quality performance category via the CMS Web Interface for the 2019 performance period, you’ll automatically be registered for the 2020 performance period unless you cancel your registration. If your group or virtual group registered to administer the CAHPS for MIPS Survey for the 2019 Quality performance period, you'll need to register again for the 2020 Quality performance period.

Please note: Groups, virtual groups, and APM Entities planning to collect and submit data for the Quality performance category for the 2020 performance period using other options (for example, submitting MIPS Clinical Quality Measures through a Qualified Registry) and not planning to administer the CAHPS for MIPS Survey do not need to register.
