  • Overview

    Under MACRA, most physicians will participate in a value-based payment program known as MIPS, which stands for Merit-based Incentive Payment System. Beginning with the 2019 physician fee schedule, MIPS will replace the Physician Quality Reporting System, Value-Based Modifier, and Meaningful Use of electronic health records programs. Ms. Laura Hoffman, Assistant Director in the Department of Federal Affairs at AMA, provides an overview of the Clinical Practice Improvement Activities, or CPIA, category, including how the activities may be reported and scored by CMS.

    Please click here for a full list of CMS' proposed CPIAs

     

    Update as of September 2017: CMS shortened the category name to “improvement activities”. The content provided here is otherwise still accurate and up-to-date.
