The QPP website has been updated to include 2019 Alternative Payment Model (APM) Incentive Payment details. Clinicians and surrogates can now log in to the QPP website using their HARP credentials to see their APM Incentive Payment details.

In September, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that eligible clinicians who were Qualifying APM Participants (QPs) based on their 2017 performance would begin receiving their 2019 5% APM Incentive Payments. CMS also posted a new 2019 APM Incentive Payment Fact Sheet to explain:

  • Who is eligible to receive an APM incentive payment in 2019
  • How CMS determines your 2019 APM Incentive Payment
  • Answers to frequently asked questions

APM Incentive Payment Details Available on QPP Website

CMS has taken time to ensure correct payments and information are available during the 2019 payment year. CMS’ process includes verifying eligible clinicians’ Advanced APM participation and the calculation of the APM Incentive Payment.

You can now log in to the QPP website and see the amount the organization paid for both the 10-digit National Provider Identifier (NPI) and the organization.
