CMS Research, Statistics, Data & Systems- Health Plan Management System (HPMS)- Recertification & Password Process

Annual Recertification Process

CMS user IDs must be recertified electronically on an annual basis using CMS’ EUA system at https://eua.cms.gov. If you have difficulty with EUA or the CBT (including password issues), please contact the CMS IT Service Desk at 1-800-562-1963 or 410-786-2580 for assistance. If you do not complete the recertification in a timely manner, your CMS user ID will be revoked and you will have to re-apply as a new user.

Upon receipt of a recertification email notice from ess@cms.hhs.gov, you must follow Steps 1 AND 2 to complete the process:
