The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced the upcoming 2023 Quality Payment Program (QPP) performance information preview period.

The official preview period opens on Tuesday, May 27, 2025, and will close on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT). Below is the full communication from CMS detailing how to access your information, where to find resources, and contact information for support.
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services | Care Compare: Doctors and Clinicians
Preview is coming
The Doctors and Clinicians Preview Period will open officially on Tuesday, May 27, 2025. You can preview your 2023 Quality Payment Program (QPP) performance information before it appears on the profile pages of clinicians and groups on the Medicare.gov compare tool and in the Provider Data Catalog (PDC). You’ll be able to access the secure preview on the QPP website.
For more help accessing the QPP website or getting your Health Care Quality Improvement Systems (HCQIS) Access Roles and Profile (HARP) user role, email the QPP Service Center at QPP@cms.hhs.gov. To learn how to sign up for a HARP account, review the QPP Access User Guide (ZIP, 4MB).
When the Preview Period opens, resources about the 2023 QPP performance information available for preview will be on the Care Compare: Doctors and Clinicians Initiative webpage and the QPP Resource Library.
Note that Accountable Care Organization (ACO) data isn’t available on the QPP website during the Preview Period. Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) eligible clinicians who participate in Medicare Shared Savings Program ACOs can preview their performance information in their 2023 MIPS Performance Feedback.
Medicare Shared Savings Program ACOs can also review quality performance information in their previously provided 2023 Quality Performance Reports. When the Preview Period opens, the list of ACO performance information planned for public reporting will be available on the Care Compare: Doctors and Clinicians webpage and the QPP Resource Library.
The 2023 Preview Period will close Wednesday, June 25, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT).
Note that the 2023 QPP performance information planned for public reporting in 2025 will be added to the profile pages of clinicians and groups on the compare tool on Medicare.gov and in the PDC.
If you have any questions about public reporting of clinicians and groups on the compare tool on Medicare.gov, contact the QPP Service Center by emailing QPP@cms.hhs.gov, submitting a QPP Service Center ticket, or calling at 1-866-288-8292 (Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–8 p.m. ET).
People who are deaf or hard of hearing can call 711 to connect with a Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) Communications Assistant.

The 2023 QPP Preview Period allows you to verify your performance data before its public release on the Medicare.gov Care Compare tool and the Provider Data Catalog (PDC). Addressing discrepancies now ensures your practice's quality metrics and financial incentives are accurate. This step is critical for transparent and accountable healthcare delivery.
For Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) eligible clinicians, this preview directly impacts their performance feedback. Practices participating in the Medicare Shared Savings Program ACOs should note that while ACO data isn't on the QPP website during this preview, MIPS performance information is accessible. ACOs can also use their 2023 Quality Performance Reports for review. Understanding these distinctions supports comprehensive compliance.
