General Comment
Document CMS-2026-1684-0001
The CAHPS for MIPS survey is an important tool for capturing the patient's voice in care quality, but the
administrative burden of such implementation and oversight will be disproportionately high for smaller
specialty groups, hospitals and systems. The push for mandatory MIPS value pathways in the future will need
the Agency to streamline reporting protocols.
The hope would be that CMS carefully evaluates the burden placed on survey vendors and participating
clinicians to ensure that the data collected is done in a timely manner, valuable, and doesn't create undue
financial or operational penalties. Modernizing survey delivery-such as seamless web integration, to improve
response rates without increasing regulatory burden on the clinical care team.
