Member Satisfaction Survey 2020
April 9, 2020, 4:15 pm
Introduction
Cox HealthPlans (CHP) has completed its annual Member Satisfaction Survey for benefit plan year 2019. The survey was sent out via Survey Monkey to Small Group Metal Plan administrators and members to complete, with a total of 774 possible member responses. Plan administrators were incentivized to complete the survey and to encourage other members to complete the survey by a prize drawing. We also sent a follow up reminder during the last week of the survey to plan administrators to gather additional completed surveys. The survey was available for 3 weeks, from 1/29 to 2/21, and consisted of standard CAHPS questions, with a few additional questions that touched on behavioral health services and health education, wellness activities, and racial, ethnical, cultural, and spiritual needs. We received a total of 15 responses for a 2% response rate.

- Having a personal doctor who listens carefully, explains things in a way that is easy to understand, spends enough time and shows the member respect
- Rating of specialist and ease of getting an appointment to see a specialist
- Getting information from the plan’s customer service and being treated with courtesy and respect from the health plan
Survey results indicate weaknesses in the following areas:
