The recently posted Home Health CAHPS survey participation exemption for size request form is available for the 2020 annual payment update, which is between April 1, 2018, and March 31, 2019. The exemption is only good for one year, so agencies that submitted a form in a prior year must reapply.
 
A similar form is available for Hospice CAHPS as well. Hospices that served fewer than 50 survey-eligible decedents/caregivers in 2017 can apply for the exemption. That form will be available to submit until Dec. 31, 2018.
