Dear Medicare Beneficiary:
You deserve the highest quality care from your health plan. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) is the federal agency that administers the Medicare program. One of the ways we
ensure quality care is to ask about the service you are currently receiving from your Medicare health
plan and/or Prescription Drug Plan.
You are being contacted to complete a survey about a complaint that you – or someone on your
behalf – made against your [PLAN NAME] health plan and/or your Prescription Drug Plan on
[DATE]. Your complaint was closed on [DATE] by your Medicare health plan. You will be asked
about your complaint and how satisfied you are with the way your complaint was handled. Your
opinions are very important to us. The information you provide will help improve the way Medicare
plans handle complaints in the future. This is your opportunity to help us, and your health plan
and/or prescription drug plan, serve you better.
Your cooperation in filling out this brief 5-10 minute survey is greatly appreciated. All the
information you provide is confidential and is protected by the Privacy Act. Your information will
not be shared with anyone other than authorized persons at CMS and IMPAQ International, LLC,
the independent contractor assisting with this survey. Your participation is voluntary and your
