folder_openOther Announcementscalendar_todayPosted August 30, 2024
Data collection for the ACO REACH CAHPS Survey begins September 9, 2024. CMS and the ACO REACH CAHPS Survey Coordination Team appreciate all the survey vendors’ hard work in preparing for this survey. A few reminders are below.
Survey vendors are reminded that they are required to provide their REACH ACO clients with their toll-free Help Desk phone number. This allows ACOs to provide the phone number to patients with survey-related questions. Additionally, some ACOs keep Patient Waiting Room FAQs in their offices, and ACOs opting to do so can write/print the vendors’ Help Desk number on the FAQs. The FAQs are located on the ACO REACH CAHPS website: https://acoreachcahps.org/Portals/0/SurveyMaterials/ACOREACHCAHPSWaitingRoomFAQsEnglish.pdf
