Register Now for the 2026 Self-Nomination and QCDR Measure Submission Demonstration on June 26, 2025

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will host a demonstration webinar on Thursday, June 26, 2025, from 1 – 3 p.m. ET to provide information on the Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) and Qualified Registry Self-Nomination processes for the 2026 Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) performance period. This demonstration will provide a walk-through of the QCDR and Qualified Registry Self-Nomination forms available on the Quality Payment Program (QPP) website as well as the QCDR Measure Submission Form for those submitting QCDR measures.

What are QCDRs and Qualified Registries?

QCDRs and Qualified Registries are CMS-approved third party intermediaries that collect clinical data on behalf of clinicians for data submission. Only intermediaries that want to become (and who meet the requirements of) a QCDR and/or Qualified Registry need to complete the Self-Nomination form.

You should attend the webinar if your organization plans to self-nominate as a 2026 QCDR or Qualified Registry. Participation in this demonstration is optional. MIPS eligible clinicians that want to report for the 2026 MIPS performance year via a Qualified Registry or QCDR reporting mechanism don’t need to self-nominate.
