2022 Qualifying APM Participant (QP) Performance Period

Partial QP Election Form

Dear [APM_Entity_Name]:

Based on CMS’ QP threshold calculations for performance year 2022 (payment adjustment year 2024), there are eligible clinicians in «APM_Entity_Name» that are Partial QPs. Accordingly, [APM_Entity_Name] is to elect whether to report to MIPS. If [APM_Entity_Name] elects to report to MIPS, all MIPS eligible clinicians in [APM_Entity_Name] that are Partial QPs will be subject to the MIPS reporting requirements and payment adjustments for that year. To elect to report or not report to MIPS, [APM_Entity_Name] is to complete and submit this election form accordingly to QualityPaymentProgramAPMHelpdesk@cms.hhs.gov no later than March 31, 2023.

In the absence of making an explicit election, the MIPS eligible clinicians in [APM_Entity_Name] will not participate in MIPS. Therefore, the Partial QPs in [APM_Entity_Name] will participate in MIPS and receive a corresponding MIPS payment adjustment only if the APM Entity elects for the eligible clinicians to participate in MIPS.

If [APM_Entity_Name] elects not to report to MIPS, the clinicians can still report to MIPS though they will not be subject to the MIPS payment adjustment. This election is only applicable to performance year 2022 (payment adjustment year 2024). If you have questions, please contact QualityPaymentProgramAPMHelpdesk@cms.hhs.gov.
