HHCAHPS survey data for Q2 2026 is due Oct. 15, 2026.
 
Vendors are encouraged to submit ahead of the deadline because this is the first data collection for the revised HHCAHPS survey instrument that began implementation April 1, 2026.
 
The modified HHCAHPS measures will be publicly reported and incorporated into star ratings beginning in October 2027 after a full year of data collection.
 
Until then, the publicly reported scores will be limited to Overall Rating and Willingness to Recommend. Data for the revised measures will be shared with agencies in provider preview reports beginning in April 2027, according to the HHCAHPS website.
