These data are available in the 2023 QPP Experience Report and the 2023 QPP Public Use File, in addition to the existing 2023 QPP Results At-A-Glance.

Third party intermediaries must self-nominate by 8 p.m. ET on September 2, 2025, to become a Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) or Qualified Registry for MIPS in 2026.
 

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has reopened the calendar year (CY) 2023 Doctors and Clinicians (DAC) Preview Period because updates were made to the CY 2023 Quality Payment Program (QPP) performance data available during the Preview Period that closed in June. Review your performance information in the secure preview on the QPP website before it becomes public on the profile pages of clinicians and groups on the Medicare.gov compare tool and in the Provider Data Catalog (PDC). The Preview Period will remain open until Thursday, August 21, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT).
