Proposed Project 

Health Insurance Plans Research 

Study—New—Office of Health System 

Collaboration, Office of the Associate 

Director for Policy, Office of the 

Director, Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The CDC Office of the Associate 

Director for Policy intends to request 

that the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) approve a new collection 

of information under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act for three years. This data 

collection will occur once, and 

respondents will be surveyed once. 

The Health Insurance Plans Research 

Study will uniquely examine the 

prevalence, characteristics, and 

differences of prevention and wellness 

programs offered by health insurance 

plans in this critical era of healthcare 

reform. There are no known studies that 

have addressed the prevalence of 

prevention and wellness programs 

across health plans or explored the 

granular details of these programs as 

this study is intended to do. Not 

conducting this study would be one less 

step toward increasing healthy years of 

life. 

Furthermore, the Health Insurance 

Plans Research Study will address the 

priorities and goals of the CDC Office of 

the Associate Director for Policy, Office 

of Health System Collaboration: (a) 

Identify and catalyze policy 

opportunities such as the Affordable 

Care Act to enhance healthcare 

transformation, (b) advance CDC’s 

public health-healthcare strategy to 

improve population health, (c) 

strengthen strategic partnerships with 

healthcare systems and payers, federal 

and non-federal, and (d) fully leverage 

performance measures as a tool to 

improve the health of individuals across 

health systems and payers. 

The results of this study are of great 

interest not only to the CDC Office of 

the Associate Director for Policy but to 

other CDC Centers, Institutes, and 

Offices; and other federal agencies and 

partners such as the Health Resources 

and Services Administration (HRSA), 

the members of the CDC Advisory 

Committee to the Director, and the CDC 

Public Health-Health Care Collaboration 

Workgroup (federal, state, and local 

public health; public and private 

organizations; healthcare providers; 

professional membership associations; 

and academia representation). 

CDC will select a sample of 

approximately 150 commercial health 

insurance plans in the United States 

that differ by size and geography, in the 

50 states and the District of Columbia, 

to complete a web-based survey, the 

Prevention and Wellness Assessment 

Survey. The project team will provide 

information and instructions about the 

survey to health plan points of contact 

in advance. The team will also make 

information and instructions available 

on the Web site, eliminating any 

interactions between the respondent 

and the project team, unless a 

respondent(s) has questions or concerns 

during completion of the survey. 

The Prevention and Wellness 

Assessment Survey will take 

approximately 30 minutes to complete 

per respondent for a total estimated 

burden of 75 hours. Key health plan 

contacts (e.g., medical directors, nurse 

directors, or other healthcare 

professional) will incur burden 

associated with coordinating the time 

and identifying a person to take the 

survey. The burden associated with this 

activity is estimated at 30 minutes per 

key health plan contact for a maximum 

of one key contact per health plan (1 key 

contact × 150 health plans = 150 key 

contacts), resulting in a total burden of 

75 hours. In addition, administrative 

support staff at select health plans may 

assist with coordinating 

communications between key health 

plan points of contact and America’s 

Health Insurance (AHIP). The estimated 

administrative support burden is 30 

minutes per health plan, resulting in a 

total burden of 75 hours. 

Following the analysis of survey data, 

the project team will conduct one-hour 

telephone interviews with no more than 

nine health plans (1 hour × 9 health 

plans) to gain a better understanding of 

lessons learned and best practices 

associated with the design and 

implementation of prevention and 

wellness programs by commercial 

health insurance plans. The project 

team will use this information to build 

upon the knowledge gained through the 

survey. For example, there may be 

differences in how health plans 

structure prevention and wellness 

programs for different employer 

accounts based on employer requests. 

The estimated burden is one hour per 

health plan, resulting in a total burden 

of nine hours. 

Best practices in outreach will be 

utilized to maximize survey response 

rates. Key health plan contacts at nonresponding health plans will receive 

follow up by telephone, and one-to-one 

assistance will be provided if needed.

The government intends to 

accomplish the following as a result of 

this data collection: (a) Identify high 

priority opportunities for public health 

and healthcare collaboration, (b) inform 

a public health-healthcare strategic 

agenda, (c) improve the use of clinical 

preventive services, and (d) improve 

capacity of healthcare systems to 

incorporate public health practices and 

principles. At the conclusion of this 

study, a formal report, two issue briefs, 

and potentially a manuscript for 

publication will be produced. 

There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time. The total 

estimated annualized burden hours are 

234.
