CMS Post-performance Information From the 2019 Quality Payment Program

As of June 2021, the CMS has made available newly added Quality Payment Program (QPP) performance information for physicians, clinicians, groups, and Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) to the Doctors and Clinicians section of Medicare Care Compare and in the Provider Data Catalog (PDC).

CMS is required to report eligible clinicians’ Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) Final Scores, eligible clinicians’ performance under each MIPS performance category, names of eligible clinicians in Advanced Alternative Payment Models, and, to the extent feasible, the names and performance of such Advanced APMs. Performance information for physicians and clinicians is displayed using measure-level star ratings, performance scores measured by percentage, and checkmarks.

Medicare patients and caregivers can use the Care Compare website to search for and compare physicians, clinicians, and groups who are enrolled in Medicare.
