Urgent MLN Connects® for July 2, 2015 – PV-PQRS: Transition from IACS to EIDM - Act by July 2

If you use Individuals Authorized Access to the CMS Computer Services (IACS) to obtain a Quality and Resource Use Report on behalf of a group practice or a solo practitioner or register a group practice to participate in the PQRS Group Practice Reporting Option, using a group or individual Physician Value (PV)-PQRS role, act now.

CMS is transitioning all IACS accounts to the Enterprise Identity Management System (EIDM) by July 13, 2015. In preparation for the move, we will not accept any new user registrations or profile modifications after 8pm ET on July 2, 2015.

Complete the following by 8pm ET on July 2, 2015:

  • Make sure you know your IACS User ID and Password. We are moving your current IACS User ID and Password “as is” to EIDM beginning July 3, 2015.
  • Make sure you can successfully login to IACS before 8pm ET on July 2, 2015. You can access the IACS application at https://applications.cms.hhs.govExternal Website.
  • Reset your IACS password before 8pm ET on July 2, 2015, if you think that your password may expire between July 3, 2015 and July 13, 2015 or your password has already expired.
  • Review your IACS user profile before 8pm ET on July 2, 2015 and ensure that all information is correct.
  • Work with the QualityNet Help Desk to get any pending request approved or to address any question you have about the actions described above. The QualityNet Help Desk will be open from 8am - 8pm ET on July 2, 2015.

After 8pm ET July 2, 2015:

  • Do not register for a new User ID in EIDM. This will complicate moving your IACS User ID to EIDM.
  • Do not make any changes to your IACS user profile or submit a request of any type that cannot be approved prior to 8pm ET on July 2, 2015.

Direct questions to the QualityNet Help Desk at (866) 288-8912 (TTY 1-877-715-6222), Monday – Friday: 8am – 8pm ET, or via email at qnetsupport@hcqis.org.

Further information about action needed after the July 13 transition will be available on the How to Obtain a QRURExternal Website web page soon.
