Data Validation
CMS will publish guidance to help clinicians better understand the supporting documentation they should retain when attesting to the MIPS requirements. CMS calls this guidance “MIPS Data Validation Criteria” as it outlines the types of documentation that should be retained to validate the data the provider submits to CMS at the end of the performance period. You must keep documentation for six years subsequent to submission. We suggest reviewing this validation document to ensure you document your work appropriately.
