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 assess annuitant satisfaction with
their health plan’s benefits and services.
