Improvement Activities are one category of MIPS and worth 30% of the overall MIPS score. Total points for the Improvement Activities category caps at 40 and is dependent on a combination of scoring factors.
To earn full credit in this performance category, you must generally submit one of the following combinations of activities:
- 2 high-weighted activities,
- 1 high-weighted activity and 2 medium-weighted activities, or
- 4 medium-weighted activities.
Improvement activities have a minimum of a continuous 90-day performance period (during calendar year (CY) 2023) unless otherwise stated in the activity description. To submit Improvement Activities as an Eligible Clinician you can sign in and attest.

High-weighted activities receive 20 points and medium-weighted activities receive 10 points. There is a maximum of 40 points that can be earned from attesting to activities in this performance category. You’ll receive double points for each high- or medium-weighted activity you submit if you’re an individual clinician or group that holds a qualifying special status (small practices will receive double points).
With over 100 Improvement Activities to choose from, it can be overwhelming to decide which one is best suited for your practice. If you are in a small practice you only need to select one high weighted activity and attest to the activity in the QPP portal during MIPS reporting. Many of the activities capture best practices that you or your practice may already be doing.
