Additional Considerations and References

Additional Considerations

• There is no “submit” or “save” button anywhere on the QPP submission site

• Data can be added/deleted/updated until window closes on 3/31

• CMS will automatically accept data resulting in the best score

• Same website will be used to show final scores, comparison against national results, and payment adjustments (scheduled for summer)

Additional Considerations

• Quality• Download/request QRDA file from your CEHRT vendor and test upload• Data submitted via claims or CMS Web Interface will not display(?)• Data submitted by ACO will not display(?)

• Advancing Care Information• Download/request QRDA file (upload) or ACI report (manual attestation)

from your CEHRT vendor• Only required category for ACO practices to self-submit (report as a group)

• Improvement Activities• Download/request QRDA file (upload) or IA report (manual attestation) from

your CEHRT vendor; or document which IA you met in advance• System is scoring incorrectly for small practices

• Should score medium-weight = 20, high-weight = 40• CMS has assured this will be fixed/scored correctly
