You can access the secured Preview through the QPP website.

Medicare Shared Savings Program (Shared Savings Program) Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and Next Generation Model ACOs can preview their performance information via their 2020 MIPS Performance Feedback Reports. Shared Savings Program ACOs can also review quality performance information on their previously provided 2020 Quality Performance Reports. A list of ACO performance information targeted for public reporting is available on the Care Compare: Doctors and Clinicians Initiative page in the downloadable 2020 ACO Performance Information document. ACO level data isn’t available for viewing during the Preview Period.
The Preview Period will close on December 14, 2021 at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT).
Please note the 2020 QPP performance information is targeted for public reporting in 2022 and will be added to Care Compare and/or the PDC after all targeted reviews are completed. If you have an open targeted review request, you’ll still be able to preview your 2020 QPP performance information during the Doctors and Clinicians Preview Period.
