Thank you for your participation in America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) Survey on Improving Patient Safety and Appropriate Use of Healthcare Services.
AHIP is conducting a survey of its members to gain a better understanding of health plan efforts to promote patient safety and appropriate care. Data collected through this survey will be used to develop issue briefs and inform policy makers and the media about health plans' efforts in this area.
Your individual responses to the survey questions will be strictly confidential. Summary information based on the aggregate responses of all participating plans will be reported.
Please answer all of the survey questions based on your health plan’s commercial products. Plan initiatives and programs aimed at Medicaid enrollees and Medicare Advantage beneficiaries are outside the scope of this survey.
Please note that when completing the survey, you have the option to save your answers and return to the survey at a later time. This can be done by clicking the “Save page and continue later” button. You will then receive a link via email that will allow you to return and complete the survey.
If you have questions please contact German Veselovskiy at [email protected] or 202-778-8476.
