CMS MERIT is now open for 2025 quality and efficiency candidate measure submissions!

Section 3014 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act established the CMS pre-rulemaking process for the selection of measures for adoption in select CMS Medicare quality programs. The pre-rulemaking process helps to support CMS’s goals to fill critical gaps in quality measurement and consider multi-interested party input on measure selection.

Measure developers/stewards are now invited to submit their candidate measures using CMS MERIT until 8:00 PM ET on Thursday, May 1, 2025. For helpful tools and resources regarding pre-rulemaking, please visit the Measures Management System (MMS) Hub.
