The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) plans to begin publicly reporting results from the Home Health Care CAHPS (HHCAHPS) Survey in April 2012. HHCAHPS Survey results will be reported for a Medicare-certified home health agency (HHA) once the agency has 12 months worth of HHCAHPS Survey data. The results, which will be posted on the Home Health Compare link on the Medicare Web site at www.Medicare.gov, will be refreshed each calendar quarter, with data from the oldest quarter being replaced by data from the most recent quarter of the HHCAHPS Survey. HHAs participating in the HHCAHPS Survey will be able to “preview” their survey results each reporting period on the HHCAHPS Survey Web site about two weeks before the results are publicly reported.
