Abstract: This information collection will survey disenrollees from Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (PDPs) and Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Plans (MA-PDs). The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) provides a requirement to collect and report performance data for Part D prescription drug plans. Specifically, the MMA under Sec. 1860D-4 (Beneficiary Protections for Qualified Prescription Drug Coverage) requires CMS to conduct consumer satisfaction surveys regarding PDPs and MA-PDs - pursuant to section 1860D-4(d). This data collection complements the satisfaction data collected through the Medicare CAHPS Survey by providing dissatisfaction data in the form of reasons for disenrollment from PDPs and MA-PDs.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The proposed revisions reduce our estimated completion time per survey from 12 to 11 minutes for PDP survey responses, and from 14 to 13 minutes for MA responses. On an annualized basis, the estimate of respondent burden is also reduced from the estimate provided in our 2017 OMB application due to a reduction in response rates from ~40% (2017 OMB application assumption) to ~30% (based on observed response rates for the survey in years 2016 and 2017). Total burden has decreased from 12,754 to 9,354.
