Abstract:
Section 1311(c)(4) of the ACA requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to develop an enrollee satisfaction survey system that assesses consumer experience with qualified health plans (QHPs) offered through an Exchange. It also requires public display of enrollee satisfaction information by the Exchange to allow individuals to easily compare enrollee satisfaction levels between comparable plans. CMS is developing, testing and implementing two surveys, a survey for adult enrollees in QHPs and a survey for health insurance Marketplace consumers. CMS is requesting approval for information collection associated with these surveys.
