EIDM registration guide

CMS streamlined the data submission process under the Quality Payment Program (QPP). Now there is one system for data submission. Starting on January 2, 2018 you can go to QPP web-portal (https://qpp.cms.gov/) and log into the system using your Enterprise Identity Management (EIDM) account and appropriate user role associated with your organization.

As March 31, 2018 is a deadline to submit data, we decided to briefly guide you over EIDM registration. This guide is for:

  1. Users who have not previously registered in the CMS Enterprise Portal/EIDM. EIDM is also used in support of other CMS programs, such as the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS). OR
  2. CMS Enterprise Portal users who have not previously accessed the Open Payments System. Participation in the Open Payments system requires users to be registered in both EIDM and the Open Payments system. This two-step verification process is to prevent others from using a user’s identity fraudulently.

All customers will follow this initial step for creating a User ID in EIDM. However, the Office Approver must complete all registration steps to create the organization first before the Office Back-Up Approver or any End User can be registered.

Step 1: EIDM New User Registration (skip to Step 2 if you already have an EIDM User ID)
