electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
Overview: In the past, the Office of
Personnel Management contracted with
a vendor to administer the Consumer
Assessment of Healthcare Providers and
Systems (CAHPS) survey to a sample of
both active Federal employees and
retirees. CAHPS surveys ask consumers
and patients to report on and evaluate
their experiences with their health care.
Since the CAHPS survey instrument is
designed for the active population, it
will no longer be administered to
retirees. However, annuitant feedback
about their health plan experience is an
essential part of successful benefit
administration for the Federal
Employees Health Benefits (FEHB)
Program. As a result, the Federal
Annuitant Benefits Survey is designed
to replicate CAHPS questions in order to
assess annuitant satisfaction with their
health plan’s benefits and services. It
will inform the Office of Personnel
Management’s Healthcare and Insurance
contracting officers regarding plan
performance.
