The MIPS Portal allows you to select Improvement Activities (IAs) to meet requirements for the MIPS Improvement Activities performance category. To get started, log in to NRDR, select MIPS Participation Portal, select Data Collection and Reports, and then navigate to CMS Submission. This section allows you to select Quality measures, Improvement Activities and Promoting Interoperability measures for submission to CMS.

Note: TINs registered for the Group Practice Reporting Option (GPRO) cannot add activities for individual physicians because the activities apply to the entire group. Physicians submitting MIPS data individually, on the other hand, can attest to activities at the individual level or in batches of multiple physicians.

Applied criteria appear above the filter in a gray box for each criterion. To remove a criterion, click the X on the right side of the box.
To select an activity, enter the Start and End dates, then click the Add button.
Note: The Start and End dates must span at least 90 days within the performance year.
