*Today we bring you updates from the latest CMS QPP Newsletter for Small Practices:*

CMS Proposes Policy Changes for Quality Payment Program

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued its [Calendar Year (CY) 2026 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) Proposed Rule](https://www.federalregister.gov/public-inspection/2025-13271/medicare-and-medicaid-programs-calendar-year-2026-payment-policies-under-the-physician-fee-schedule), which includes proposed policies for the Quality Payment Program (QPP).

The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) includes proposals for the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and Advanced Alternative Payment Models (APMs), as well as several Requests for Information (RFIs).

Specifically, we’re proposing policies that:

- Continue the transformation of MIPS through MIPS Value Pathways (MVPs).
- Are responsive to feedback and concerns raised by interested parties.
- Maintain stability within the MIPS program through the established performance threshold.

# 2026 Policy Proposal Highlights

Key QPP policies that we are proposing in the CY 2026 PFS Proposed Rule include:

- Introducing 6 new MVPs for the 2026 performance year that are related to diagnostic radiology, interventional radiology, neuropsychology, pathology, podiatry, and vascular surgery.
- Introducing a 2-year informational-only feedback period for new cost measures, allowing clinicians to receive feedback on their score(s) and find opportunities to improve performance before a new cost measure affects their MIPS final score.
- Maintaining the current performance threshold policies, leaving the performance threshold set at 75 points through the 2028 performance year.
- Introducing Qualifying APM Participant (QP) determinations at the individual level, in addition to existing determinations at the APM entity level.

# Overview of RFIs

We are also seeking feedback on RFIs about the following topics:

- Establishing Core Elements for MVPs, to require reporting on key quality measures within each MVP.
- Establishing a process to assign clinicians to an MVP, to facilitate the most relevant reporting for their scope of care.
- Transitioning to FHIR-based electronic clinical quality measure (eCQM) reporting in quality reporting programs.
- Understanding the current environment, including challenges, with collecting and exchanging high-quality healthcare data.
- Changing requirements for the Query of Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) Measure and Performance-Based Measures in the Public Health and Clinical Data Exchange Objective.

The AHEC Standardized Onboarding and Credentialing program aims to improve the process of placing health science students in clinical placements through partnerships as well as onboarding and credentialing tools.

These tools help reduce the time and resources needed to onboard and credential students to clinical rotations. These tools, as well as support and guidance from AHEC and other partners, can make it easier for small practices to host students, helping to increase opportunities for training, and ultimately increasing clinical capacity. To get started or for more information, please contact Aubrey Delaney, Associate Director Onboarding and Credentialing at [Audelaney@wakeahec.org](mailto:Audelaney@wakeahec.org).

- A deeper dive into the roles of committee members. 
- Status of committee bylaws.
- Review of frequently asked questions and answers pertaining to the development of this project.

These stakeholder engagement sessions will occur monthly, as follows, until the project implementation and are intended to be interactive as the Department values input from partnering stakeholders:

- June 25, 2025
- July 30, 2025
- August 27, 2025
- September 24, 2025

Don't lose access to the United Healthcare Provider Portal! Make sure your sign-in options include passkey, authenticator and/or a verified phone number by March 6th.

What's changing and when

A security update to the UnitedHealthcare Provider Portal is coming soon.  This will affect how you sign in to the portal and gain access if you're ever locked out.

Currently, many use email as a recovery and multifactor authentication option. On March 6, 2025, this option won't be available. Be prepared; review your options now.

UnitedHealthcare [provider portal authentication webpage](https://www.uhcprovider.com/en/access/provider-portal-authentication.html) has all the details you need to ensure your access is maintained.

You can also review [FAQs](https://www.uhcprovider.com/en/access/provider-portal-authentication.html) on the changes.
