However, the agency continues to offer guidance and update its Quality Payment Program (QPP) online resource library with materials, webinars, charts, and more. On Feb. 17, CMS added these two offerings to the resources, according to a QPP alert, The QPP resource library also uploaded the MVP kick-off webinar and other handy tools to help MIPS-eligible clinicians get a jumpstart on the transition.
