What Happens if I Don’t Report OAS CAHPS?
Starting in 2025, the OAS CAHPS measure will be linked to reimbursement. If you are eligible for the survey and do not qualify for an exemption, you must report the OAS CAHPS measure. Failure to do so will result in a -2% penalty in your annual fee schedule update.
For more information on eligibility and the available low-volume exemption, view our ASC Quality Reporting: Prepare for the Mandatory OAS CAHPS Measure in 2025 blog.
