Check Your QPP Participation Status
- Check your final 2025 MIPS eligibility status, updated based on Medicare Part B claims and Medicare PECOS data from the second segment of the MIPS Eligibility Determination Period (October 1, 2024-September 30, 2025). Eligibility is determined by several factors:
- When you first enrolled as a Medicare provider,
- Your clinician type, and
- The volume of Medicare services you provide.
- Verify 2025 APM participant status updated based on the most recent snapshot of APM data for dates of service between January 1, 2025 and August 31, 2025. If you qualify as a Qualifying APM Participation (QP), you are eligible for APM-specific rewards and exempt from participating in MIPS.
- Review your initial 2026 MIPS eligibility status.

New CEHRT ID in 2025
Effective September 1, 2025, the ONC CHPL website is generating CMS EHR Certification IDs using a new annual syntax. The updated format introduces a year-based prefix that reflects the applicable CMS program reporting year. This change is part of the broader transition to an edition-less certification framework under the ONC Health IT Certification Program, supporting CMS reporting as certification criteria evolve. Visit the CHPL Resources page for additional information.
- For the 2025 reporting year, CMS EHR Certification IDs now begin with “2025C,” replacing the previous “15C” prefix. While the format has changed, the process for generating a CMS ID through the CHPL remains the same.
