As the year winds down, it’s time to shift focus from performance optimization to compliance verification. These final checks ensure your MIPS submission is complete, accurate, and ready for audit.

1. Document Your Improvement Activities

Depending on your practice size, you’ll need to complete and document one or two Improvement Activities — from care coordination initiatives to patient engagement programs. Documentation is key, so ensure proof of activity is clear and consistent throughout the year.

2. Audit Your SRA and SAFER Guide

Your Security Risk Assessment (SRA) and SAFER Guide are required for 2025. Confirm they’re finalized and documented. Missing these can cost you your entire PI score — and trigger compliance red flags.

3. Prepare for Submission

Avoid last-minute system surprises by testing your submission process now.

• Confirm your QPP credentials are active
• Verify report accuracy across all categories
• Generate a test file submission to catch formatting or validation errors early
• 
  

4. Stay Proactive

Double-check every requirement, from improvement activity proof to data integrity. MIPS compliance isn’t just a box to check — it’s how your practice proves its commitment to quality care.

Your final weeks of the performance year are your safeguard against lost points and compliance risk. The difference between “ready” and “rushed” could be your score — or your peace of mind.
