On Jan. 2, 2026, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) submissions for the Quality Payment Program (QPP) can be submitted through 8 p.m. ET March 31, 2026.
The AASM has developed the AASM MIPS Submission Toolkit and Quality Measure Reporting Workbooks, which are now available to members on the MIPS page of the AASM website. These comprehensive resources provide valuable assistance in navigating and completing MIPS submissions.
Members should log in to the QPP site using their access credentials to submit 2025 performance year data or review any data reported by a third party. Early submission is encouraged to allow time for troubleshooting. MIPS Quality Payment Program submission resources are available from CMS in the QPP Resource Library, including 2026 MIPS resources such as:
- 2026 MIPS Quality Measures List (XLSX)
- 2026 MIPS Clinical Quality Measure Specifications and Supporting Documents (ZIP)
Members may send questions regarding Quality Payment Program submissions to quality@aasm.org.
