How to Use This Tool

This tool has been created to help you get familiar with the available measures and activities for each performance category under traditional MIPS. It’s for planning purposes only and will not submit anything to CMS. To get the most out of the tool, follow the steps below:

  1. Explore (Search, browse, or filter) available measures
  2. Add measures you’re interested in to your list
  3. Download your list of interested measures for reference

2025 Quality Measures: Traditional MIPS

30% of final score

This percentage can change due to special statuses, exception applications, Alternative Payment Model (APM) Entity participation, or reweighting of other performance categories.

You must collect measure data for the 12-month performance period (January 1 - December 31, 2025). The amount of data that you must submit (‘data completeness’) depends on the collection type of the measure.

TIP: Make sure that your selected quality measures can be reliably scored against a benchmark. Reporting a measure that doesn't meet case minimum, data completeness, or a benchmark (historical or performance period) is unavailable will result in 0 out of 10 points (3 points for small practices).
