Register now for 2024 NACOR Quality Reporting

NACOR registration is open for 2024—renew or enroll your practice to submit data to the AQI designated Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) or Qualified Registry (QR) for the CMS Quality Payment Program (QPP). Choose from four tiers offering basic analytics through national benchmarking and full EHR integration. Note: If your practice only reports MIPS measures, select QR registration.

Please reach out to AskAQI with any questions.

What's new for QPP in the 2025 CMS proposed rule?

CMS released the 2025 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) proposed rule in early July, including changes to MIPS, APMs, and other QPP features. For the 2025 reporting year, CMS is proposing:

• Maintaining the performance threshold at 75 points, indicating payment bonus or penalties for 2027
• By law, weights of MIPS requirements will not change—30% quality, 30% cost, 25% interoperability, and 15% improvement activities
• No changes to the anesthesiology measure set
• Maintaining the data completeness threshold for the MIPS Quality Performance Category at 75% for the 2025 through 2028 performance years
• Eliminating the 7-point measure scoring cap on a select number of topped-out measures, four of which are in the anesthesiology measure set

Unless otherwise noted, final provisions will become effective January 1, 2025. Get more detail in the ASA Washington Alert.

Attest to your MIPS Improvement Activities (IAs)

To earn MIPS IA points, an eligible clinician or group needs to participate in any improvement activity for a minimum of 90 consecutive days. The final 90-day period starts on October 1 and ends December 31, 2024.

For your group to attest to an activity, at least 50% of the clinicians under the tax ID must perform the same activity during any continuous 90-day period, or as specified in the activity description within the same performance period. Be sure to maintain documentation, including evidence of completion and participating NPIs, for six years.
