Quality Payment Program

The Quality Payment Program was created by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to help secure incentives for healthcare providers we deliver high-quality patient care. To be eligible for these incentives, providers must meet certain quality standards set forth by CMS. The program is designed to encourage provider participation in activities that improve health outcomes and reduce costs. Since its inception, the Quality Payment Program has been a success, with over $1 billion in incentives paid out to providers who have met the quality standards set by CMS. In addition to securing these important incentives, the program has also helped to improve the quality of care delivered to patients across the country.
