After the Generate File for Submission button has been clicked, a variety warning messages may appear depending upon the status of your MIPS process. Some of these messages not allow you to continue (i.e., if the Quality section has not been calculated or is incomplete, or if you are using configured the STI Quality Reporting Registry option for Quality Measures in the MIPS Dashboard Configuration dialog), while other will prompt you to confirm that you want to continue (i.e., if you have not calculated for Quality and/or Advancing Care Information in over a day).

Once the warnings have been satisfied, or if there were no warnings, then a Generate File for Submission dialog will appear, allowing you to select which incentive program you are creating the file for: MIPS Individual, MIPS Group, or CPC+. Once the selection is made, you can select a location to save file, and then a message will appear after the file has been generated in the selected location.
