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.
