Abstract:
The National Beneficiary Surveys will gauge individuals’ satisfaction with the services they receive from the State Health Insurance Assistance (SHIP) and Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) Programs. The survey will be the first of its kind to ascertain the quality and effectiveness of the services provided by the SHIP and SMP and to determine if beneficiaries are receiving accurate, relevant and timely information. The survey will be conducted over a three-year period beginning in Fiscal Year (FY) 2017, with multiple sites in each of the 50 states and the territories of Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands being surveyed once. The SHIP program satisfaction survey will be conducted on a sample of beneficiaries who received assistance/counseling during two points in the year (one week in the spring and one week during the Annual Medicare Open Enrollment Period). The SMP program satisfaction survey will focus on education session presentations to determine if the target audience is satisfied with the information they are receiving. The results from these surveys will be used to measure satisfaction among individuals who receive assistance/counseling or among individuals who attend SMP education sessions, as well, as how the program can be improved to provide better service to its target population.
