MIPS Group Web Interface and CAHPS Reporting: Deadline Nears

June 30 is the deadline to register for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) through the CMS Web Interface and/or the Consumer Assessment of Health Providers and Systems (CAHPS) for MIPS Survey. The CMS Web Interface provides quality measures for completion by psychiatric group practices eligible for participation in the MIPS, while the CAHPS for MIPS Survey is an optional quality measure that groups participating in MIPS can elect to administer. Like the CMS Web Interface, completion of the survey counts toward participation in the quality performance category, as a patient experience measure.

• For individual or group participation, registration is not required for any other submission method.
• If your group registered for the Group Practice Reporting Option Web Interface in 2016, you are automatically registered to use the CMS Web Interface in 2017.
