What the Medicare Experience Survey Means for You

If you are selected, your participation in the survey helps improve our Medicare plans in a variety of meaningful ways.

Questions you may have about Medicare

What is the Medicare Experience Survey?

Once a year, members like you are invited to take part in a formal survey that helps us improve. If selected, you will receive the survey from a third party. Your participation is private and anonymous in the hopes of encouraging your honest and candid responses.

Why should I participate?

Your answers not only help us improve your member experience, but also help us identify and implement the kind of benefits that matter most to you and members like you. It’s your chance to make a difference in the support and benefits you receive now and in the future.

How will I be notified if I am selected?

All members selected to participate will be notified by mail or phone between March and May 2025.

Survey tips

Here are a few tips to help you navigate the survey. 

Skip questions that don’t apply to you.

 

Example: In the last 6 months, how often was it easy to use your prescription drug plan to fill a prescription by mail?

Answers: Never | Sometimes | Usually | Always

Tip: Skip this question if you didn’t fill any prescriptions by mail. Answering “Never” would mean it was never easy to fill a prescription by mail.

For questions about customer service, focus on the representative’s accuracy and courteousness.

 

Example: In the last 6 months, how often did your health plan’s customer service give you the information or help you needed?

Answers: Never | Sometimes | Usually | Always

Tip: Did you get the information you were looking for? Was the customer service specialist polite and helpful? 

Remember: You can skip this question if you did not call customer service in the last 6 months.

Think about your overall experience, not just your most recent one.

 

Example: In the last 6 months, how often was it easy to get the care, tests, or treatment you needed?

Answers: Never | Sometimes | Usually | Always

Tip: Let’s say you visited the doctor 4 times in the last 6 months and 3 of those visits went very well. But at your most recent visit you felt rushed and your doctor seemed distracted. In this situation, you would choose “Usually.” This is because the majority of the time you were able to get the care and treatment you needed.

For questions asking for a rating between 0 and 10, 0 indicates the lowest rating and 10 the highest.

 

Example: Using any number from 0 to 10, what number would you use to rate your health care in the last 6 months?

Answers: 0 Worst health care possible | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 Best health care possible

Tip: If you’re very happy about the quality of the health care you’ve received in the last 6 months, you’ll choose 10.
