We Want Your Feedback

As a valued Medicare Advantage member we want your feedback so that we can continue to offer great benefits and programs. We encourage you to respond to the official Medicare surveys so that we can collaborate with your health care provider to ensure you have a great healthcare experience. 

Consumer Assessment of Health Care Providers and Systems 

This anonymous survey seeks patient feedback on their experience with the healthcare system, including how easy it was to obtain needed care, how well your doctor communicates and satisfaction with your health plan customer service. You may be contacted by phone or email to complete this annual survey. 

Health Outcome Survey

This patient-reported survey is conducted with Medicare beneficiaries to gain insights on their physical and mental health. You may be contacted by phone or mail to respond to a baseline survey and then receive a similar follow-up survey two years later.
