Medicare Shared Savings Program - Important Reminders When Submitting Data on the APP Plus Quality Measure Set – Deadline March 31, 2026

The data submission period for PY 2025 of the Quality Payment Program (QPP) is open. Data can be submitted and updated until March 31, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET). ACOs should review their quality data for completeness and accuracy by the deadline; data cannot be updated or corrected after the submission period has closed. ACOs are encouraged to report early to allow time to ensure data is accurate and correct any errors, if needed, in advance of the deadline.

1. Navigate to the QPP webpage.
2. Sign in using your QPP access credentials. ACO representatives with the Security Official or Staff User role in ACO-MS can sign in to the QPP website using their ACO-MS username and password.
3. Submit your ACO’s data for PY 2025 or review the data reported on your behalf by a third party (ACOs cannot correct errors with your data after the submission period, so it’s important to make sure the data submitted on your ACO’s behalf is accurate).

For PY 2025, Shared Savings Program ACOs must report quality data on the APP Plus quality measure set. ACOs that do not submit any quality measures to the APP Plus quality measure set will be ineligible for shared savings or will owe maximum shared losses. The data submission guidance is outlined below.

• For QPP JSON files, the “entityId” must be labeled with your ACO ID, the “entityType” must be labeled as “apm”, the “category” must be labeled as “quality” and “programName” must be labeled as “appPlus” at the measurement set level for 2025. Please note that these labels are case-sensitive. The labels must not include any punctuation; otherwise, your ACO’s data submission may be rejected. For more information, refer to Tutorial: APP Submissions in the QPP Developer Preview Environment Documentation.
• For Quality Reporting Document Architecture III files, your file must have the correct file naming convention of “APP_PLUS_APMENTITY” as the CMS Program Name in 2025. For more information, refer to the CMS Implementation Guide for Quality Reporting Document Architecture Category III.
