CMS has updated the 2026 QCDR and Qualified Registry Qualified Postings in the Quality Payment Program (QPP) Resource Library to reflect new or resolved remedial actions and terminations involving third-party intermediaries. The Qualified Posting lists the QCDRs and Qualified Registries approved by CMS to collect and submit MIPS data on behalf of eligible clinicians, groups, virtual groups, subgroups, and APM Entities, including Medicare Shared Savings Program ACOs, for the 2026 MIPS performance year. These intermediaries may submit quality measures, Promoting Interoperability measures, and improvement activities for both voluntary and opt-in MIPS participants. Practices using a QCDR or Qualified Registry for MIPS reporting should review the updated CMS posting and version history and use only intermediaries included on the CMS-approved list.
