Celebrating 25 Years
Medical Planner
2016-2017
A Message from
Thank you for participating in the Medicare Current Beneficiary
Survey (MCBS). With your help, we are working to make Medicare a
more cost-effective and more high-quality form of health insurance
that meets the needs of all beneficiaries. As a reminder, whether you
take part in the survey is entirely your choice. Your Medicare benefits
will not be affected by the answers that you give, or by whether or not
you participate. The information you provide will be kept private to
the extent permitted by law, as prescribed by the Privacy Act of 1974.
William Long—Project Officer
A Message from
Your participation in the MCBS provides valuable information to both
researchers and policymakers about the needs of Americans who have
Medicare health insurance.
CMS collects large amounts of information about hospitals, doctors,
and other medical professionals. They can tell how Medicare works
for those groups, but the only way to learn about how the Medicare
program works for people like you is to ask. AARP supports this
survey because we think it is important. Please take part and help
improve your Medicare program.
How to Use Your Planner
We are providing this planner to help you organize your doctor visits,
possible hospital stays, and other health care-related events. This will
help you by providing you one place to keep track of all of these
items, both for planning purposes and when trying to recall events
with your interviewer. It will also help us ensure that the information
we collect is as accurate as possible. If the information we collect does
not accurately represent what is going on in your life, it will not be as
helpful at improving Medicare.
When using this planner, it is important to record the following types
of information in the appropriate date square:
• Doctor and dentist appointments
• When prescribed medicines are filled or re-filled
• The total cost of an event and what you paid
• Hospital visits, including to the emergency room or as
an outpatient
• Labs, x-rays, and other tests
• Nursing home stays
• Home health visits by a medical professional, family member,
or friend
• Eyeglasses, diabetic equipment, ambulance services, or other
medical items purchased
Important Contact Information

staff at NORC at the University of Chicago at any time.
