2023 CAHPS for MIPS Survey Registration is Now Open

April 7, 2023
Policy Snapshot

Registration is open through June 30, 2023, at 8:00 PM ET for the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) for the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) Survey for the 2023 performance year.

Groups, virtual groups, subgroups, and Alternative Payment Model (APM) Entities with 2 or more clinicians (including at least one MIPS-eligible clinician) can register to administer the CAHPS for MIPS Survey for traditional MIPSAPM Performance Pathway (APP), or MIPS Value Pathway (MVP) reporting.

Who doesn’t need to register?

  • Medicare Shared Savings Program Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs).
    • These ACOs are required to report the APP so they are automatically registered for the CAHPS for MIPS Survey, which is required under the APP.
  • These ACOs don’t need to register but will still need to hire a CMS-approved vendor to administer the CAHPS for MIPS Survey.

Who must register?

  • Groups and APM Entities (other than Shared Savings Program ACOs) that choose to report the APP must register because the CAHPS for MIPS Survey is a required measure under the APP.

Who can register?

  • Groups, virtual groups, and APM Entities that intend to administer the CAHPS for MIPS Survey as 1 of their 6 quality measures for reporting traditional MIPS.
  • Groups, subgroups*, and APM Entities that are registered to report the following 4 MVPs and intend to administer the CAHPS for MIPS Survey as 1 of their 4 quality measures:
    1. Optimizing Chronic Disease Management MVP
    2. Adopting Best Practices and Promoting Patient Safety within Emergency Medicine MVP
    3. Advancing Cancer Care MVP
    4. Promoting Wellness MVP
