Under the Medicare-Medicaid Financial Alignment Initiative, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is measuring consumer experience in multiple ways, including through beneficiary surveys such as the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS). As part of the MA-PD CAHPS survey, respondents are asked to rate their health plan on a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 is the worst health plan possible and 10 is the best health plan possible.
