Which of the following is one of the four components of MIPS?

• A. HEDIS; ACO; MACRA
• B. EHR; patient portal; telemedicine
• C. MU/ACI; VBPM; PQRS; QI
• D. ICD-10; CPT; DRG

Answer: (C)

MIPS under MACRA is organized into four performance categories: Quality, Cost, Improvement Activities, and Promoting Interoperability. The option listed uses older program names that map onto these four areas: MU/ACI corresponds to Promoting Interoperability, VBPM corresponds to Cost, PQRS corresponds to Quality measures, and QI aligns with Improvement Activities. So this choice correctly represents the four MIPS components. The other options reference initiatives or concepts not describing the four MIPS categories (such as broad programs, technologies, or coding systems).
