In this video, we'll review the process
to connect an organization,
specifically an Alternative Payment Model, or APM Entity.
This video is applicable to representatives of entities
participating in models such as Comprehensive Primary Care Plus
and Primary Care First.
There is a two-step process you need to complete
in order to sign into the QPP website to submit, view,
and manage data for your organization.
The first step is to create a HARP account.
If you don't have a HARP account,
you can do so from the Sign-In page.
Click "Sign In" in the upper right-hand corner.
Then, click "Register."
From here, you can click "Register with HARP,"
which will redirect you to the HARP website
to create an account.
Once you've completed the process
to create a HARP account,
you will return to the QPP website
and sign in with your username and password.
Enter your username and password.
You must check that you agree to the statement of truth
before you can click "Sign In."
At this point, you'll receive a code on the device
you selected for multi-factor authorization
during the HARP account creation process.
Enter your code to complete the sign-in process.
Click "Manage Access" on the left-hand navigation pane.
If this is your first time requesting access
to an organization, you will see a message
that you're not connected to any organization
and a large button inviting you to connect to an organization.
If you're like me and already have access to an organization,
you'll see those organizations listed the page
and a link to connect to another organization.
The process is the same
whether you're connecting to an organization for the first time,
or connecting to a new organization.
Once you click the link, you will be prompted
to choose your organization type.
Select "APM Entity" and click "Continue."
Choose your model from the drop-down list.
The information required to find your organization
will vary by model.
Enter the required information, and click "Continue."
Next, you will be asked to select a role,
either "Security Official" or "Staff User."
Both roles let you submit and view data
for your organization,
but only security officials can approve requests
from other users to connect to the entity.
If you're the first person to request
access to your organization,
you must select "Security Official"
and will be required to provide additional information.
You'll see an approval notification pop up
after the information you've submitted
is validated by the system.
If the information you entered can't be validated,
your request will be rejected.
If this happens,
verify and re-enter the required information.
If you continue to have problems,
contact the QPP Service Center.
If the organization already has a security official,
you will select the appropriate role and click "Submit."
Once your request has been submitted,
the existing security official is responsible
for reviewing and approving your request.
Your request will remain in a pending state
until it's approved.
If your role request remains in pending state,
contact the QPP Service Center for assistance.
