About the QPP Center

The ACS Quality Payment Program (QPP) Resource Center provides resources to be successful in participating in this Medicare Physician Quality Program, by providing basic information about the program, participation options, and other helpful resources.

QPP Information by Year

The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) of 2015 called for major changes in the physician payment system that went into effect in 2017. The QPP continues to advance a policy goal of basing payment on value rather than on volume. For your convenience, we have compiled reporting information for 2021, 2022, and 2023 participation.

2024 Information

The 2024 QPP offers two pathways: the Merit-based Incentive Payment System and Advanced Alternative Payment Models.

2022 Information

The 2022 QPP offers two pathways: the Merit-based Incentive Payment System and Advanced Alternative Payment Models.

2021 Information

For 2021, surgeons need to score a total of at least 60 points to avoid a payment penalty in 2023.
