What You Need to Know: Advanced APM-participating physicians who have not received incentive payments for the 2023 performance period/2025 payment year should verify their information with CMS by September 1, 2025.
Physicians who participated in an Advanced Alternative Payment Model (APM) for the 2023 performance year/2025 payment year and have yet to receive their payments are advised to check the 2025 QP Notice for APM Incentive Payment zip file and look for their name to see if they need to verify and update their Medicare billing information by submitting a 2025 Billing Information Collection Form (which can also be found in the zip file, along with instructions). Failure to verify Medicare billing information by the September 1, 2025, deadline will result in the Centers for Medicare and Medicare Services (CMS) not being able to issue an APM Incentive Payment.
Due to problems with the CMS system, some payments are being reprocessed and will be sent later in the summer. Every year, however, there is a subgroup of qualified APM participants for whom CMS does not have up-to-date billing information.
Physicians who wish to view the APM incentive payment details for the 2025 payment year may do so by logging in to the Quality Payment Program website with their HARP credentials.
