We are pleased to announce that the opt-in period has begun! Primary care practices may start submitting their opt-in forms to participate in the Quality Incentive Payment System (QIPS) program for measurement year 2021.
Opt in through IndexPro™
Practices must use IndexPro, accessible through the Provider Engagement, Analytics & Reporting (PEAR) portal, to complete the opt-in process. If your practice or organization is not registered for the PEAR portal and does not have access to IndexPro, you cannot opt in to the QIPS program. Practices that do not opt in to the QIPS program will not be included in the program or be eligible to earn incentive payments for measurement year 2021.
Please visit our PEAR portal page for details on the registration process.
Visit our new dedicated
value-based program page to review the
QIPS program manual so you understand the program changes for measurement year 2021. Once you have reviewed the program manual and decide to participate in the program, use the QIPS opt-in
reference guide to help you navigate the opt-in process. This guide shows the step-by-step process to follow in IndexPro to opt in to the QIPS program.
Office and Clinical Champions
As a reminder, when you opt in to the QIPS program for measurement year 2021, you will be asked to identify:
-
An Office Champion. An administrator who is responsible for coordinating value-based administrative activities at the practice location.
-
A Clinical Champion. A practicing physician who is responsible for coordinating value-based clinical activities at the practice location.
It is important to identify your respective Office and Clinical Champions before you complete the opt-in request to ensure a smooth process.
