This past week, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced the suspension of eight improvement activities under the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) for the 2025 performance year.
The notice stated that “this decision aligns with the Improvement Activities Suspension Policy finalized in the CY 2021 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) Final Rule (86 FR 65465),” and it can be seen as a precursor to their potential removal in future rulemaking.
MIPS, a key component of the CMS Quality Payment Program (QPP), requires eligible clinicians to report across four performance categories: quality, cost, promoting interoperability, and improvement activities. The improvement activities category specifically aims to encourage practice-level enhancements that support patient engagement, access to care, and population health.
