BCBSTX 2023 Marketplace Member Satisfaction with Providers Results

04/10/2024

Earlier this year we shared CAHPs and the QHP Enrollee Experience Survey now we’re providing you collection feedback on patient experiences with QHPs available through the Health Insurance Marketplace 2023. QHP Enrollee surveys give patients the opportunity to provide feedback on the experience with their health plan and its contracted providers. Focusing on a positive patient experience will have many important benefits to your practice:

  • Patient retention
  • Compliance with physician recommendations
  • Patient’s overall wellness and health outcomes
  • Preventive care addressed more timely

The QHP Enrollee Experience Survey is a valuable measurement tool to assess service gaps and develop specific improvement strategies.  A random sample of eligible members enrolled for at least six months are surveyed through mail, phone, and web-based modes. The survey gauges experience with cultural competence, how well doctors communicate and takes approximately 12 minutes to complete with an emphasis on domains where providers have the most impact:

  • Access to care 
  • Care coordination
  • Ratings of specialist, personal doctor, healthcare
  • Flu vaccination for adults (age 18–64)
