We would appreciate your participation!
The U.S. Census Bureau, the University of Minnesota, the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services, and the Medica Research Institute are studying how well the
Census Bureau measures health insurance coverage in national surveys. Medica is
inviting you to be a part of this study because you have had health insurance recently.
These surveys are used to help make important policy decisions across the country.
What you need to know
You will get a call from the Census staff in a few months and
be asked to take part in a brief, voluntary survey. The survey
takes about 15 minutes.
No action is necessary from you at this time.
However, if you, or any other Medica member in your
household, prefer not to receive a phone call from a Census
staff member, call 866-342-4348 by January 15, 2015, and
your household will be removed from the contact list.
Thank you and we hope you decide to be a part of this study.
Sincerely,
Daniel Trajano, MD, MBA
Vice President and Medical Director for Population Health, Medica
Your privacy is important
All your information will be private whether or not you are part of the study. The
study will not look at your medical records. When the Census staff member calls, you’ll
learn more about how they guard your privacy.
If you have any questions about the study, you can call 866-342-4348. If you want to talk
to someone other than the study team, you can contact the University of Minnesota
Research Subjects’ Advocate Line at 866-508-6961.
