What are improvement activities?
The MIPS pathway under the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA), uses quality and cost data to determine your payment, and replaces the previous framework that included the Medicare EHR Incentive Program, the Physician Quality Reporting System and the Value-Based Payment Modifier program. Physicians participating in MIPS will be scored on four categories:
- Quality.
- Advancing care information.
- Improvement activities.
- Cost.
