Question: I’m newly in charge of the QPP program for our practice, and I’m wondering if there’s a single, significant resource I can use to keep me up to date on changes to the program.

Answer: Yes, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) provides a great resource. If you’re not checking for updates to the Quality Payment Program (QPP) resource library, you could be missing out on critical information.

CMS adds materials and tools across the various performance years to the QPP resource library on a daily basis. For example, CMS recently added extensive zip files on criteria used to audit your Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) files for the 2022 and 2023 performance years/2024 and 2025 payment years.
