CMS opened the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) Value Pathways (MVP) registration period for the 2026 performance year. Individuals, groups, subgroups, and Alternative Payment Model (APM) Entities that plan to report an MVP must complete registration through CMS’s Quality Payment Program (QPP) website by November 30, 8pm ET.

To register, practices must sign in to the QPP website using its HARP account and QPP Security Official role. The QPP Access User Guide provides more information about obtaining the required access.

Additional resources, including the 2026 MVP Registration Guide, MVPs Implementation Guide and 2026 Explore MVPs tool are available on the QPP website.

If you have questions about MVP registration or reporting requirements, contact Zach Smith, ACR® Senior Quality Programs Specialist or Maddie Loughery, ACR Associate Quality Programs Specialist.
