In an effort to provide continued security within the MAT, we are transitioning the user authentication process from SymantecVIP to HARP.
HCQIS Access Roles and Profile (HARP) is a secure identity management portal provided by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Creating an account via HARP provides users with a user ID and password that can be used to sign into many CMS applications. It also provides a single location for users to modify their user profile, change their password, update their challenge question, and add and remove two-factor authentication devices.
In order to retain your access to the MAT after May 6, 2020, you must have a HARP account. Go to https://harp.qualitynet.org/register and complete the registration form to create a HARP account. To create an account, users must enter their profile information, account information, and successfully complete proofing (identify verification). Registration could take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes, depending on how quickly user data is proofed and verified. HARP uses a third-party service provided by Experian to verify user identities. To complete account setup, users need to log into HARP and set up two-factor authentication.

Thank you!
