MIPS

Providers must achieve a total of 40 points from Improvement Activities during a 90-day reporting period. Activities are categorized as medium-weighted [worth 10 points] or high-weighted [worth 20 points].

Providers in groups of 15 or fewer are only required to complete one high-weighted or two medium-weighted activities for full credit [CMS will weigh the improvement activities at double the value for larger practices].

Providers participating in a patient-centered certified medical homes [PCMH] will automatically receive full credit for the Improvement Activities category of MIPS. Providers participating in an Advanced Alternative Payment Model (APM) will automatically receive 50% of the full score.

CMS will assign scores based on providers’ performance or improvement in future years.
