folder_openData Submissionscalendar_todayPosted December 18, 2025
The next data submission deadline is Thursday, January 15, 2026. We are now approximately 4 weeks away from the deadline for submitting HHCAHPS Survey data for Quarter 3 of calendar year 2025 (CY25,Q3).
We thank those HHCAHPS vendors who have already begun submitting CY25,Q3 data for their HHA clients. If you have not submitted any data for Quarter 3, we encourage you to begin submitting your files as soon as possible.
Important Points to Remember:
- To ensure that files can be accepted by the deadline at 11:59 PM Eastern Time on January 15, 2026, you must submit all of your Quarter 3 files on or before Wednesday, January 14, 2026.
- Since CMS will not accept any files after the data submission deadline, make sure you check your data submission reports to verify that all of your submitted files were accepted. And, correct and re-submit all files before the data submission deadline.
- Data files must pass both the initial and the secondary validation checks.
- You must still submit an XML data file for an HHA even if their monthly patient information file does not have any patients eligible to be sampled.
- For each sample month an HHA has no eligible patients, please remember to request an email from them documenting that they had no eligible patients or have them submit a blank monthly patient information file, so that you can submit a 0-eligible file for that month.
- Please remember to submit a DNR for any HHAs that do not send you a file.
- Check your Vendor Authorization Report to make sure that each HHA client has authorized your organization to submit data on their behalf.
