Abstract:
CMS has fielded the MA (Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) CAHPS Survey annually since 1998 and the MA-PD and PDP CAHPS Surveys annually since 2006. The Medicare CAHPS is a national survey of health and prescription drug plans conducted at the contract level for MA-only, MA-PD, and PDP contracts. Medicare CAHPS provides data to permit preparation of plan performance measures to assist Medicare beneficiaries in their selection of a health and/or prescription drug plan and help policymakers and others assist the Medicare program and Medicare plans design and monitor patient-centered quality improvement initiatives. This request is to conduct a field test with the main goal of testing the effects of new survey content and a web-based mode on patterns of response and survey scores.
