Visit MVP Candidate Feedback webpage for more information. 

CMS continues to solicit recommendations for potential updates to MVPs previously finalized for implementation through the 2025 MIPS performance period. 

We’re accepting recommendations from the general public on a rolling basis for 21 previously finalized MVPs. You can review the previously finalized MVPs on the Explore MVPs webpage. 

We’ll determine whether to address recommendations to change a previously finalized MVP through future notice and comment rulemaking. For example, recommendations to add or remove a quality measure or improvement activity.  

We’re unable to communicate with the public about whether their recommendations will be accepted ahead of rulemaking. CMS is responsible for determining whether previously finalized MVPs should be updated through future notice and comment rulemaking. 

The MVP maintenance process doesn’t include recommended changes to existing individual MIPS measures and improvement activities. Changes to individual MIPS measures and improvement activities are made through separate established processes, such as rulemaking and the annual Call for Measures and Activities and would then be reflected within any previously finalized MVPs that included those measures and activities.  

Requests for changes to previously finalized MVPs should be submitted to PIMMSMVPSupport@gdit.com for consideration. At a minimum, please provide the title of the finalized MVP and a short description of the proposed change(s) by performance category as organized in the table below and on the Maintenance Process for MVPs webpage and in the 2025 MIPS Value Pathways (MVPs) Ongoing Maintenance Process (PDF, 243KB).

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) Innovation Center invites organizations to apply to become a survey vendor for the Making Care Primary (MCP) Model. The application period for vendors of the MCP Person-Centered Primary Care Measure (PCPCM) survey opened December 18, 2024, and will remain open until January 17, 2025. We invite all survey vendors and Qualified Clinical Data Registries (QCDRs) that meet the minimum business requirements to apply to become a CMS-approved MCP PCPCM survey vendor for participants in tracks 2 and 3 of the MCP Model. This is an opportunity to contract with primary care organizations participating in a new 10.5-year national payment model. 

Survey vendors and QCDRs interested in becoming a CMS-approved MCP PCPCM survey vendor will need to do the following:   

1. Complete and submit a Vendor Registration and Application. Vendors must demonstrate the ability to meet the Minimum Business Requirements, which include a minimum of 2 years of experience in conducting mixed-mode (web with mail) data collection, 2 years of experience in fielding patient-specific surveys, and prior experience surveying vulnerable populations.
2. Obtain the free Smart Measures license for administering the PCPCM survey instrument as coordinated by CMS.
3. Complete the self-paced Introduction to the MCP PCPCM survey webinar training and successfully pass the training certification.
4. Submit a Quality Assurance Plan (QAP). CMS must review and approve the QAP before the vendor receives final approval.  

The list of conditionally approved survey vendors will be released to MCP participants in March 2025, and a final list of fully approved MCP survey vendors will be released in May 2025. Tracks 2 and 3 participants can officially authorize a survey vendor from May 12, 2025, until June 30, 2025. The survey fielding is scheduled for the third quarter of 2025.
