Additional Information for Group Registration
Starting in 2026, to register for MVP reporting as a group, your practice will need to attest to their specialty composition (whether you’re a single specialty group or multispecialty small practice) during the MVP registration process. We won't make this determination for you. All other groups will need to participate as subgroups or as individuals (if eligible) to report an MVP.
A single specialty group means a group that consists of clinicians in one specialty type, or clinicians in more than one specialty type with a single clinical focus of care. For example, a group consisting of internists, cardiologists, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants that are focused on providing cardiovascular care could attest to being a single specialty group and register to report an MVP as a group.
How to Register
Individuals, groups, subgroups and APM Entities will register on the QPP website. You'll need to have the Security Official role to register your organization. Please refer to the QPP Access User Guide (ZIP, 5MB) for information about obtaining a Security Official role for your organization. To register:
Note: If the CAHPS for MIPS Survey is included in your chosen MVP and you plan to use it as one of your four required measures, you must complete both your MVP registration and a separate CAHPS for MIPS Survey registration by June 30, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET.
