On January 4, 2021, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) officially opened the data submission period for the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). Eligible clinicians who participated in the program in 2020 have until March 31, 2021, to submit their data to CMS.
NextGen Healthcare clients using NextGen® Enterprise EHR and NextGen® HQM were previously asked to request the MIPS 2020 program in HQM no later than December 31, 2020. The HQM team requests that clients review their files and approve for submission by no later than March 26, 2021.
Clients participating in the Medicaid Promoting Interoperability (PI) program should check with their state Medicaid Agency regarding reporting deadlines. Reminder: 2021 is a shortened year for Medicaid PI program, with states required to receive all attestations for eligible professionals by October 1, 2021.
For clients using MIPS submission methods other than NextGen® HQM, more information can be found on the CMS Quality Payment Program website here .
