Information Collection 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a currently 

approved collection. Title of 

Information Collection: Health 

Insurance Marketplace Consumer 

Experience Surveys: Qualified Health 

Plan Enrollee Experience Survey; Use: 

Section 1311(c)(4) of the Affordable 

Care Act (ACA) requires the Department 

of Health and Human Services (HHS) to 

develop an enrollee satisfaction survey 

system that assesses consumer 

experience with qualified health plans 

(QHPs) offered through an Exchange. It 

also requires public display of enrollee 

satisfaction information by the 

Exchange to allow individuals to easily 

compare enrollee satisfaction levels 

between comparable plans. HHS 

established the Marketplace Survey and 

the QHP Enrollee Experience Survey 

(QHP Enrollee Survey) to assess 

consumer experience with the 

Marketplaces and the QHPs offered 

through the Marketplaces. The surveys 

include topics to assess consumer 

experience with the Marketplace such 

as enrollment and customer service, as 

well as experience with the health care 

system such as communication skills of 

providers and ease of access to health 

care services. CMS developed the 

surveys using the Consumer Assessment 

of Health Providers and Systems 

(CAHPS®) principles (http://

www.cahps.ahrq.gov/about.htm) and 

established an application and approval 

process for survey vendors who want to 

participate in collecting QHP enrollee 

experience data. 

The Marketplace Survey will provide 

(1) actionable information that the 

Marketplaces can use to improve 

performance, (2) information that CMS 

and state regulatory organizations can 

use for oversight, and (3) a longitudinal 

database for future Marketplace 

research. The CAHPS® family of 

instruments does not have a survey that 

assesses entities similar to 

Marketplaces, so the Marketplace 

Survey items were generated by the 

project team. The QHP Enrollee Survey, 

which is based on the CAHPS® Health 

Plan Survey, will (1) help consumers 

choose among competing health plans, 

(2) provide actionable information that 

the QHPs can use to improve 

performance, (3) provide information 

that regulatory and accreditation 

organizations can use to regulate and 

accredit plans, and (4) provide a 

longitudinal database for consumer 

research. 

CMS is completing two rounds of 

developmental testing for the surveys. 

The 2014 survey psychometric tests 

helped determine psychometric 

properties and provided an initial 

measure of performance for 

Marketplaces and QHPs to use for 

quality improvement. Based on 

psychometric test results, CMS further 

refined the questionnaires and sampling 

designs to conduct the 2015 beta test of 

each survey. CMS requests clearance for 

the national implementation of the QHP 

Enrollee Survey, beginning in 2016. The 

total estimated annual burden hours of 

national implementation of the QHP 

Enrollee Survey is 39,623 hours with 

120,015 responses. The total annualized 

burden over three years for this 

requested information collection is 

118,869 hours and the total average 

annualized number of responses is 

360,045 responses. Form Number: 

CMS–10488 (0938–1221); Frequency: 

Annually; Affected Public: Individuals 

and Households, Private sector 

(Business or other for-profits and Notfor-profit institutions; Number of 

Respondents: 120,015; Total Annual 

Responses: 120,015; Total Annual 

Hours: 39,623 hours. (For policy
