Individual Provider Consents due January 31AQI's NACOR is collecting consent forms from each Eligible Clinician (EC) who is enrolled in 2023 individual quality reporting, as required by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). All providers must sign the consent form by January 31, 2024. AQI will only submit data to CMS for individual quality reporting for providers who have signed consent forms. Consents do not apply to those practices reporting as a group. Scan and email consents (Exhibit A to the Addendum for Quality Reporting) to askaqi@asahq.org. For practices who have already returned their consents there is no further action required. For questions about consents, email askaqi@asahq.org. |
NACOR Dashboard Lockdown - January 31 at 11:59 p.m. CSTAQI will lock the provider list tool and the Improvement Activity (IA) screen in the NACOR dashboard at 11:59 p.m. CST on January 31, 2024. Clinicians will be unable to make any changes to the provider list or attest to IAs after this point. This will have no impact on viewing data. The provider list and IA screen will be unlocked on April 1, 2024. For more information, email askaqi@asahq.org. |
2023 Quality Payment Program Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances ExceptionPractices that have been approved by CMS for an Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances Exception for COVID-19 or a natural disaster (e.g., wildfires or hurricanes) and are registered to submit Quality Data to CMS through NACOR must notify AQI before March 4, 2024 If you have not done so already, notify AQI of your practice's exemption status, submit a ticket by emailing nacorsupport@asahq.org. If AQI does not receive notification through a support ticket, AQI will follow customary procedures for sending your practice's data to CMS. If CMS receives data from a group or individual that has a hardship exemption, CMS will score the data submitted. To see if your practice has been approved for an Exception, check the Quality Payment Program Website using the QPP Participation Status Tool. |
