2025 ACO Calendar

Introduction

Voluntary Alignment quarters are slightly shifted from calendar quarters; specifically, they are tied to submission dates. For example:

  • Q1: Submission day is 2/12/25, so the quarter runs from 10/24 the prior year to 2/12

  • Q2: Submission day is 5/14/25, so the quarter runs from 2/13 to 5/14

  • Q3: Submission day is 8/13/25, so the quarter runs from 5/15 to 8/13

  • Q4: Submission day is ~10/23 (tentative), so the quarter runs from 8/14 to 10/23. Unlike the first three quarters, the Q4 submission window is usually shorter and varies based on implementation periods, holidays, etc.

We are currently only including Voluntary Alignment and Beneficiary Notification Letter activities on the calendar, but will shortly also include relevant dates for HEDR Surveys.
