Consumer Assessment of Healthcare
Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Health
Plan Survey Database
AHRQ requests that OMB reapprove
AHRQ’s collection of information for
the AHRQ Consumer Assessment of
Healthcare Providers and Systems
(CAHPS) Health Plan Survey Database:
OMB Control number 0935–0165,
expiration May 31, 2020 (the CAHPS
Health Plan Database). The CAHPS
Health Plan Database consists of data
from the AHRQ CAHPS Health Plan
Survey. Health plans in the U.S. are
asked to voluntarily submit data from
the survey to AHRQ, through its
contractor, Westat. The CAHPS Health
Plan Database was developed by AHRQ
in 1998 in response to requests from
health plans, purchasers, and the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) to provide comparative
data to support public reporting of
health plan ratings, health plan
accreditation and quality improvement.
This research has the following goals:
PO 00000
Frm 00042
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
(1) To maintain the CAHPS Health
Plan Database using data from AHRQ’s
standardized CAHPS Health Plan
Survey to provide results to health care
purchasers, consumers, regulators and
policy makers across the country.
(2) To offer several products and
services, including aggregated results
presented through an Online Reporting
System, summary chartbooks, custom
analyses, and data for research
purposes.
(3) To provide data for AHRQ’s
annual National Healthcare Quality and
Disparities Report.
(4) To provide state-level data to CMS
for public reporting on Medicaid.gov
and Data.Medicaid.gov that does not
display the name of the health plans.
Survey data from the CAHPS Health
Plan Database is used to produce four
types of products: (1) An annual
chartbook available to the public on the
CAHPS Database website (https://
www.cahpsdatabase.ahrq.gov/
CAHPSIDB/Public/Chartbook.aspx); (2)
individual participant reports that are
confidential and customized for each
participating organization (e.g., health
plan, Medicaid agency) that submits
their data; (3) a research database
available to researchers wanting to
conduct additional analyses; and (4)
data tables provided to AHRQ for
inclusion in the National Healthcare
Quality and Disparities Reports.
This study is being conducted by
AHRQ through its contractor, Westat,
pursuant to AHRQ’s statutory authority
to conduct and support research on
healthcare and on systems for the
delivery of such care, including
activities with respect to the quality,
effectiveness, efficiency,
appropriateness and value of healthcare
services; quality measurement and
development, and database
development. 42 U.S.C. 299a(a)(1), (2)

Method of Collection
To achieve the goals of this project the
following data collections will be
implemented:
• Health Plan Registration Form—The
point-of-contact (POC), often the
sponsor from Medicaid agencies and
health plans, completes a number of
data submission steps and forms,
beginning with the completion of the
online registration form. The purpose of
this form is to collect basic contact
information about the organization and
initiate the registration process.
• Data Use Agreement—The purpose
of the data use agreement, completed by
the participating sponsor organization,
is to state how data submitted by health
plans will be used and provide
confidentiality assurances.
• Health Plan Information Form—The
purpose of this form, completed by the
participating sponsor organization, is to
collect background characteristics of the
health plan.
• Questionnaire Submission—POCs
upload a copy of the questionnaire used
to ensure that it meets CAHPS Health
Plan Survey standards (the survey
instrument must include all core
questions, not alter the wording of any
core questions, and must not omit any
of the survey items related to
respondent characteristics that are used
for case mix adjustment.)
• Data Files Submission—POCs
upload their data file using the Health
Plan data file specifications to ensure
that users submit standardized and
consistent data in the way variables are
named, coded, and formatted.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated burden
hours for the respondents to participate
in the database. The burden hours
pertain only to the collection of
Medicaid data from State Medicaid
agencies and individual Medicaid
health plans because those are the only
entities that submit data through the
data submission process (other data are
obtained from CMS). The 85 POCs in
Exhibit 1 are a combination of an
estimated 75 State Medicaid agencies
and individual health plans, and 10
vendor organizations.
Each State Medicaid agency, health
plan or vendor will register online for
submission. The online registration
form will require about 5 minutes to
complete. Each submitter will also
complete a health plan information form
about each health plan, such as the
name of the plan, the product type (e.g.,
HMO, PPO), and the population
surveyed (e.g., adult Medicaid or child
Medicaid). Each year, the prior year’s
plan data are preloaded in the plan table
to lessen burden on the POC. The POC
is responsible for updating the plan
table to reflect the current year’s plan
information. The online health plan
information form takes on average 30
minutes to complete per health plan
with each POC completing the form for
four plans on average. The data use
agreement will be completed by the 75
participating State Medicaid agencies or
individual health plans. Vendors do not
sign or submit DUAs. The DUA requires
about 5 minutes to sign and upload.
Each submitter will provide a copy of
their questionnaire and the survey data
file in the required file format. Survey
data files must conform to the data file
layout specifications provided by the
CAHPS Health Plan Database. Since the
unit of analysis is at the health plan
level, submitters will upload one data
file per health plan. Once a data file is
uploaded the file will be checked
automatically to ensure it conforms to
the specifications and a data file status
report will be produced and made
available to the submitter. Submitters
will review each report and will be
expected to fix any errors in their data
file and resubmit if necessary. It will
take about 1 hour to submit the
questionnaire and data for each plan,
and each POC will submit data for four
plans on average. The total burden is
estimated to be 463 hours annually.

Proposed Project
The National Intimate Partner and
Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) (OMB
Control No. 0920–0822, Exp. 02/29/
2020)—Revision—National Center for
Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
This is a revision request for the
currently approved National Intimate
Partner and Sexual Violence Survey
(NISVS, OMB# 0920–0822). In 2010, the
National Intimate Partner and Sexual
Violence Surveillance System (NISVS)
reported that approximately 6.9 million
women and 5.6 million men
experienced rape, physical violence
and/or stalking by an intimate partner
within the last year. The health care
costs of IPV exceed $5.8 billion each
year, nearly $3.9 billion of which is for
direct medical and mental health care

services. In order to address this
important public health problem, CDC
implemented, beginning in 2010, the
National Intimate Partner and Sexual
Violence Surveillance System that
produces national and state level
estimates of Intimate Partner Violence
(IPV), Sexual Violence (SV) and stalking
on an annual basis.
This revision request describes the
planned testing of a redesign of the
National Intimate Partner and Sexual
Violence Survey (NISVS) and the
approach for collecting NISVS data
using multiple data collection modes
and sampling strategies. More
specifically, this revision request is to;
(1) Conduct feasibility testing to assess
several alternative design features,
including the sample frame (addressbased sample [ABS], random digit dial
[RDD], web panel), mode of response
(telephone, web, paper), and incentive
structures that help garner participation
and help reduce nonresponse. (2)
Conduct experiments that inform the
development of a protocol for
alternative sampling and weighting
methods for multi-modal data collection
that will result in the ability to calculate
accurate and reliable national and statelevel estimates of SV, IPV, and stalking,
and (3) Conduct a pilot data collection
to ensure that the selected optimal
alternative sampling methods and
multi-modal data collection approaches
for NISVS are ready for full-scale
implementation.
These data will be used only to
inform future NISVS data collections.
Results from the feasibility phase
experiments may be prepared for
publication, as the findings related to
optimal data collection modes, sampling
frames, and incentive structures are
likely to be useful to other federal
agencies currently conducting national
data collections. No national prevalence
estimates will be generated from the
data collected during the NISVS
redesign project. The feasibility study
involves testing of the CATI, paper, and
web versions of the NISVS survey using
a variety of sampling frames and single
vs. multiple modes, all for the purpose
of determining a new design for NISVS,
and the pilot test of the new design.
Data are analyzed using appropriate
statistical software to account for the
complexity of the survey design to
compute weighted counts, percentages,
and confidence intervals using nationallevel data.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 1,189. There is no cost
to respondents other than their time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Health
Plan Survey Database
AHRQ requests that OMB reapprove AHRQ's collection of information
for the AHRQ Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems
(CAHPS) Health Plan Survey Database: OMB Control number 0935-0165,
expiration May 31, 2020 (the CAHPS Health Plan Database). The CAHPS
Health Plan Database consists of data from the AHRQ CAHPS Health Plan
Survey. Health plans in the U.S. are asked to voluntarily submit data
from the survey to AHRQ, through its contractor, Westat. The CAHPS
Health Plan Database was developed by AHRQ in 1998 in response to
requests from health plans, purchasers, and the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide comparative data to support public
reporting of health plan ratings, health plan accreditation and quality
improvement.
This research has the following goals:
(1) To maintain the CAHPS Health Plan Database using data from
AHRQ's standardized CAHPS Health Plan Survey to provide results to
health care purchasers, consumers, regulators and policy makers across
the country.
(2) To offer several products and services, including aggregated
results presented through an Online Reporting System, summary
chartbooks, custom analyses, and data for research purposes.
(3) To provide data for AHRQ's annual National Healthcare Quality
and Disparities Report.
(4) To provide state-level data to CMS for public reporting on
Medicaid.gov and Data.Medicaid.gov that does not display the name of
the health plans.
Survey data from the CAHPS Health Plan Database is used to produce
four types of products: (1) An annual chartbook available to the public
on the CAHPS Database website (https://www.cahpsdatabase.ahrq.gov/CAHPSIDB/Public/Chartbook.aspx); (2) individual participant reports
that are confidential and customized for each participating
organization (e.g., health plan, Medicaid agency) that submits their
data; (3) a research database available to researchers wanting to
conduct additional analyses; and (4) data tables provided to AHRQ for
inclusion in the National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Reports.
This study is being conducted by AHRQ through its contractor,
Westat, pursuant to AHRQ's statutory authority to conduct and support
research on healthcare and on systems for the delivery of such care,
including activities with respect to the quality, effectiveness,
efficiency, appropriateness and value of healthcare services; quality
measurement and development, and database development. 42 U.S.C.
299a(a)(1), (2) and (8).
[[Page 4986]]
Method of Collection
To achieve the goals of this project the following data collections
will be implemented:
Health Plan Registration Form--The point-of-contact (POC),
often the sponsor from Medicaid agencies and health plans, completes a
number of data submission steps and forms, beginning with the
completion of the online registration form. The purpose of this form is
to collect basic contact information about the organization and
initiate the registration process.
Data Use Agreement--The purpose of the data use agreement,
completed by the participating sponsor organization, is to state how
data submitted by health plans will be used and provide confidentiality
assurances.
Health Plan Information Form--The purpose of this form,
completed by the participating sponsor organization, is to collect
background characteristics of the health plan.
Questionnaire Submission--POCs upload a copy of the
questionnaire used to ensure that it meets CAHPS Health Plan Survey
standards (the survey instrument must include all core questions, not
alter the wording of any core questions, and must not omit any of the
survey items related to respondent characteristics that are used for
case mix adjustment.)
Data Files Submission--POCs upload their data file using
the Health Plan data file specifications to ensure that users submit
standardized and consistent data in the way variables are named, coded,
and formatted.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated burden hours for the respondents to
participate in the database. The burden hours pertain only to the
collection of Medicaid data from State Medicaid agencies and individual
Medicaid health plans because those are the only entities that submit
data through the data submission process (other data are obtained from
CMS). The 85 POCs in Exhibit 1 are a combination of an estimated 75
State Medicaid agencies and individual health plans, and 10 vendor
organizations.
Each State Medicaid agency, health plan or vendor will register
online for submission. The online registration form will require about
5 minutes to complete. Each submitter will also complete a health plan
information form about each health plan, such as the name of the plan,
the product type (e.g., HMO, PPO), and the population surveyed (e.g.,
adult Medicaid or child Medicaid). Each year, the prior year's plan
data are preloaded in the plan table to lessen burden on the POC. The
POC is responsible for updating the plan table to reflect the current
year's plan information. The online health plan information form takes
on average 30 minutes to complete per health plan with each POC
completing the form for four plans on average. The data use agreement
will be completed by the 75 participating State Medicaid agencies or
individual health plans. Vendors do not sign or submit DUAs. The DUA
requires about 5 minutes to sign and upload. Each submitter will
provide a copy of their questionnaire and the survey data file in the
required file format. Survey data files must conform to the data file
layout specifications provided by the CAHPS Health Plan Database. Since
the unit of analysis is at the health plan level, submitters will
upload one data file per health plan. Once a data file is uploaded the
file will be checked automatically to ensure it conforms to the
specifications and a data file status report will be produced and made
available to the submitter. Submitters will review each report and will
be expected to fix any errors in their data file and resubmit if
necessary. It will take about 1 hour to submit the questionnaire and
data for each plan, and each POC will submit data for four plans on
average. The total burden is estimated to be 463 hours annually.
