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 QHP Enrollee Experience Survey (QHP Enrollee Survey) to assess consumer experience with the QHPs offered through the Marketplaces. The survey includes topics to assess consumer experience with the health care system such as communication skills of providers and ease of access to health care services. CMS developed the survey using the Consumer Assessment of Health Providers and Systems (CAHPS®) principles (https://www.ahrq.gov/ cahps/about-cahps/principles/ index.html) and established an application and approval process for survey vendors who want to participate in collecting QHP enrollee experience data. The QHP Enrollee Survey, which is based on the CAHPS® Health Plan Survey, will be used to (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 completed two rounds of developmental testing including 2014 psychometric testing and 2015 beta testing of the QHP Enrollee Survey. The psychometric testing 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 questionnaire and sampling design to conduct the 2015 beta test of the QHP Enrollee Survey.

    Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain 
approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each 
collection of information they conduct or sponsor. The term 
``collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of 
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a 
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA requires Federal agencies 
to publish a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each 
proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension 
or reinstatement of an existing collection of information, before 
submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this 
requirement, CMS is publishing this notice.

Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of currently 
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Consumer 
Experience Survey Data Collection; Use: Section 1311(c)(4) of the 
Affordable Care Act 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 QHP Enrollee Experience Survey (QHP Enrollee Survey) to 
assess consumer experience with the QHPs offered through the 
Marketplaces. The survey includes topics to assess consumer experience 
with the health care system such as communication skills of providers 
and ease of access to health care services.
    CMS developed the survey using the Consumer Assessment of Health 
Providers and Systems (CAHPS[supreg]) principles (https://www.ahrq.gov/cahps/about-cahps/principles/) and established an application 
and approval process for survey vendors who want to participate in 
collecting QHP enrollee experience data. The QHP Enrollee Survey, which 
is based on the CAHPS[supreg] Health Plan Survey, will be used to (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 completed two rounds of

testing of the QHP Enrollee Survey.
    The psychometric testing 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 questionnaire and sampling design to 
conduct the 2015 beta test of the QHP Enrollee Survey. CMS previously 
obtained clearance for the 2016-2023 administrations of the QHP 
Enrollee Survey. At this time, CMS is requesting to renew approval for 
the information collection related to the QHP Enrollee Experience 
Survey in 2024-2026. These activities are necessary to ensure that CMS 
fulfills legislative mandates established by section 1311(c)(4) of the 
Affordable Care Act to develop an ``enrollee satisfaction survey 
system'' and provide such information on Marketplace websites. CMS is 
also seeking approval to remove the flu vaccine question and revise the 
race and ethnicity questions to align with the 2011 HHS Data Collection 
Standard for the QHP Enrollee Survey 2024 administration. Form Number:
