During voluntary implementation, CMS will allow participating hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs) and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) to have their data suppressed, that is, not displayed on data.CMS.gov/provider-data.

OAS CAHPS Survey data are scheduled refresh in April 2021, which includes data from Quarter 4, 2019 and Quarter 3, 2020. Quarters 1 and 2, 2020 will not be publicly reported due to the impact of COVID-19.

For the April 2021 refresh, vendors must notify the OAS CAHPS Survey Coordination Team (via email at oascahps@rti.org) by February 15, 2021 of any CCNs that choose to exclude their data from public reporting. Please note that the deadline for suppression is earlier than the date by which the Preview Reports are posted on oascahps.org.

The e-mail message to the Coordination Team should include the HOPD's or ASC's name and CMS Certification Number (CCN).
