Eligible clinicians who participated in the Quality Payment Program (QPP) in 2017 can submit their 2017 performance data through a system provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Submission deadlines are approaching and vary depending on the chosen data submission method.

Data submission deadlines are:

• March 16^th at 8:00 PM ET for groups reporting via the CMS web interface
• March 31^st at 11:59 PM ET for all other MIPS reporting, including via qpp.cms.gov

Quality data submission via claims for individual eligible clinicians was due on March 1^st. Clinicians who have missed this deadline should try to meet the March 31^st deadline. Eligible clinicians who submitted 2017 Quality Payment Program data for MIPS via claims can view their performance scores through the MIPS data submission system.

Eligible clinicians who miss all deadlines will receive a negative Medicare Part B payment adjustment in 2019.
