QIS Progress Report Form
Use this form to report on progress made during the previous year of your quality improvement strategy
(QIS). Please refer to your most recent QIS Implementation Plan and any subsequent modifications for
baseline data.
Confirm you have reviewed your most recent QIS Implementation Plan in preparing this
submission.
For detailed instructions, please refer to the QIS Technical Guidance and User Guide for the current plan
year on the Marketplace Quality Initiatives website.
PLEASE NOTE: Only issuers who are continuing a QIS 1 need to submit a Progress Report form.
There are two scenarios for issuers:
1. Progress Report: Issuers who are continuing their current QIS (with or without modifications)
should select Report on Progress and report progress on their prior year’s QIS (i.e., the 2020
Plan Year Implementation Plan form). These issuers should also describe the QIS that will be in
place for the 2022 Plan Year by submitting a QIS Implementation Plan.
2. Progress Report Closeout Form: Issuers discontinuing their current QIS and implementing a
new one should select Progress Report Closeout Form and submit the Progress Report form to
close out the discontinued QIS. These issuers should also describe the QIS that will be in place
for the 2022 Plan Year by submitting a QIS Implementation Plan for the new QIS.

For CMS Use Only

This includes issuers who selected 1) Baseline Implementation Plan (only for the 2022 Plan Year) or 2) New QIS
After Discontinuing a QIS in the QIS Implementation Plan Form for the 2022 Plan Year.

15. Current Payment Model(s) Description
Select the category(ies) of payment models that are used by the issuer across its Exchange product
line. Provide the percentage of payments in each payment model category 2 used by the issuer across
its Exchange product line. The total percentage of payments across all four payment model types
should equal approximately 100 percent. 3
Note: These percentages can be estimates and do not need to be exact figures. Issuers may update
this information year to year, as needed.

Payment Model Type

Payment Model Description

Provide Percentage

Fee for Service –
No Link to Quality and
Value

Payments are based on volume of
services and not linked to quality or
efficiency.

%

Fee for Service – Linked
to Quality and Value

At least a portion of payments vary
based on the quality or efficiency of
health care delivery.

%

Alternative Payment
Models Built on Fee for
Service Architecture

Some payment is linked to the
effective management of a segment of
the population or an episode of care.
Payments are still triggered by delivery
of services, but there are opportunities
for shared savings or two-sided risk.

%

Population-based
Payment

Payment is not directly triggered by
service delivery, so payment is not
linked to volume. Clinicians and
organizations are paid and responsible
for the care of a beneficiary for a long
period (e.g., more than one year).

%

Please confirm the total percentage of
payments across all four payment
model type categories equals
approximately 100%.

%

Total

Categories of payment models are defined in the Alternative Payment Model Framework and Progress Tracking
(APM FPT) Work Group – Alternative Payment Model (APM) Framework Final White Paper, available at: https://hcplan.org/workproducts/apm-whitepaper.pdf. See the QIS Technical Guidance and User Guide for the current plan year,
available on the Marketplace Quality Initiatives website, for examples of payment models within each category.
3 To calculate the percentage of payments for Fee for Service payments linked to quality or value, and/or Alternative
Payment Models tied to quality or value, issuers should use the calculation methodologies defined in the Measuring
Progress: Adoption of Alternative Payment Models in Commercial, Medicare Advantage, and State Medicaid
Programs (APM Measurement Effort) Final Paper, available at: https://hcp-lan.org/groups/apm-fpt/apm-report/. See
Table 1 (p. 7-10) for instructions to calculate the percentage of payments for these two payment model categories.
