The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Quality Payment Program website includes 2020 Alternative Payment Model (APM) incentive payment details. To access information on the incentive amount and organization paid, clinicians and surrogates can log in to the QPP website using their HARP credentials. In order to receive payments, certain clinicians will need to verify their Medicare billing information by November 13, 2020.
Eligible clinicians who were qualifying APM participants have already begun receiving their 2020 APM incentive payments last month based on their 2018 performance. If you are a clinician and have already received your payment, you do not need to update anything.
CMS also posted a new 2020 APM Incentive Payment Fact Sheet to explain:
For any questions, contact the CMS Quality Payment Program at QPP@cms.hhs.gov or 1.866.288.8292. To receive assistance more quickly, consider calling during non-peak hours—before 10 a.m. and after 2 p.m. ET.
