Medicare Shared Savings Program: 2025 Reporting Requirements from CMS Final Rule

On November 1, 2024, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the final rule for the 2025 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (PFS). The final rule includes several key changes affecting Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), as CMS continues its shift towards digital quality measures (dQMs). With the CMS Web Interface ending after the 2024 performance year, the final rule focuses on the future of quality reporting by aligning with the Universal Foundation of quality measures and extending eCQM / MIPS CQM reporting incentives. This blog summarizes the changes and their implications for ACOs in 2025 and beyond.
