The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is suspending eight improvement activities for the 2025 performance year (PY) in accordance with the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) Improvement Activities Suspension Policy finalized in the CY2021 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) final rule (86 FR 65465). They intend to propose removing these improvement activities in future rulemaking.
Table 1: MIPS Improvement Activities Suspended for PY 2025
Clinicians should select other improvement activities to complete. However, if any of the suspended improvement activities have already been completed or were in the process of being completed, clinicians will still be able to attest to completing them and receive credit. Please review the 2025 Improvement Activities Inventory for available improvement activities.
Visit the QPP website for more information.
Please Note: CMS is in the process of updating all related resources (i.e. guides, factsheets, webpages, etc.), including the Explore Measures and Activities tool, to indicate these improvement activities have been suspended for PY 2025.
