Annual member satisfaction surveys are conducted, using a statistically valid sample of the membership, to ensure that the plan identifies potential areas for service quality improvements.
Results of the survey are reviewed by Clinical Services - Quality and internal ad-hoc workgroups. The findings are then reported to the Care Management and Quality Management Council. Member satisfaction is also monitored through review of member dissatisfactions, complaints, and appeals.
