ASA membership deadline approaching
ASA members participating in 2020 NACOR Reporting must complete their 2020 ASA membership renewal by the end of business on Thursday, October 1. Members who have not renewed their memberships by October 1 will be charged the NACOR non-member rates for 2020 reporting.
The deadline for providers to register for 2020 NACOR Reporting (Basic, Benchmarking or Quality) is Friday, October 30. For assistance with membership status, email AskAQI@asahq.org by end of business Monday, September 28.
2019 Targeted Review period deadline
MIPS eligible clinicians or groups who are reviewing 2019 MIPS performance feedback and believe there is a discrepancy in the 2019 report can request a targeted review by October 5, 2020. ECs and groups can request a targeted review by visiting the Quality Payment Program (QPP) website and logging in with HARP credentials. For more information about how to request a targeted review, review the Targeted Review User Guide.
FTP access - Inactive after 90 days
For security reasons, all FTP accounts (for those who upload data to NACOR) will be disabled if no activity occurs within a 90-day window. If you suspect your account has been disabled due to inactivity, submit a help desk ticket by emailing NACORSupport@asahq.org. FTP access has no impact on user access to the NACOR dashboard.
Review your NACOR dashboard
Remember to review your 2020 quality reports in the NACOR dashboard. For practices that have uploaded new data files, AQI encourages a member of the practice to review the NACOR dashboard, as it allows practices to monitor providers' performance, as well as pinpoint any problems with the data and make necessary corrections prior to data submission deadlines. For more information, email AskAQI@asahq.org.
