CAHPS Hospice

Payer Information

The CAHPS Hospice Survey Project Team and NRC Health would like to remind hospices that the No Secondary Payer and No Other Payer fields should not have a default code = 7. All available payer information must be provided in data files sent to NRC Health for CAHPS Hospice sampling.

ICH CAHPS

Response Rates by Mode and Race/Ethnicity

To help achieve the highest response rates possible, the ICH CAHPS Survey Coordination Team encourages dialysis facilities to consider how modes of survey administration may impact each dialysis facility’s unique patient population. They’ve published response rates by mode and
race/Hispanic ethnicity, which are available here on the ICH CAHPS website.
