As clinicians begin planning for the 2025 MIPS performance year, the Improvement Activities (IA) performance category remains a key opportunity to maximize your MIPS score with relatively low effort. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized some notable updates to the IA category this year, including a smaller number of required attestations and simplified scoring. This post outlines the key updates for 2025 and shares a practical list of Improvement Activities that are both broadly relevant and commonly used across specialties, making them simple for most practices to implement.
