MIPS: Dates to Know for 2017<\/h1>\n

November 23, 2016<\/h5>\n
Written by Sarah Leake<\/h6>\n

January 1, 2017<\/strong> \u2013 This is the starting date of the Quality Payment program (QPP).\u00a0 If you are ready to participate for a full year of reporting, you can begin collecting your performance data starting on January 1.<\/p>\n

June 30, 2017<\/strong> \u2013 Clinician groups, who will use the CMS Web Interface<\/strong> as a reporting method, must register by June 30, 2017.\u00a0 Groups who are using other methods (EHR, QCDR, or Registry reporting) will not need to register for GPRO in advance.\u00a0 This is a significant change from PQRS and allows you more opportunity to evaluate whether individual or group reporting is best for your practice.<\/p>\n

October 2, 2017<\/strong> \u2013 If you are not prepared to report a full year of performance data, you can choose to start anytime between January 1 and October 2.\u00a0 October 2 is the last day to start and still meet the 90-day reporting for the partial reporting option.<\/p>\n

December 31, 2017<\/strong> \u2013 The performance period for all reporting options for 2017 closes on December 31, 2017.<\/p>\n

March 31, 2018*<\/strong>\u2013 All performance data for 2017 must be reported by March 31, 2018.<\/p>\n

January 1, 2019<\/strong> \u2013 The first payment adjustments based on 2017 performance in the Quality Payment Program will go into effect January 1, 2019.<\/p>\n

* You will want to review the option, quality measures and the Improvement Activities you will be performing to determine if there are additional time frames involved as well as other related important dates and deadlines.<\/p>\n
