Marketplace CAHPS Satisfaction Survey
March 12, 2026, 2:49 pm
Member feedback is essential to help us improve, which is why Cox HealthPlans (CHP) participates in the CMS CAHPS survey for our Marketplace plan to gain feedback from our members. The annual CAHPS survey for benefit plan year 2024 has been completed.
The survey consists of four main categories:
Access to Care
Questions regarding access to care include whether members feel they get the care they need when they need it, and the rating of the health care received. This includes whether members were able to get care right away or were able to get a routine appointment when needed in the past 6 months.
Personal Doctor
In this category, members rate their personal doctors and how well their doctor communicates – listening to concerns, explaining things in an understandable way, and showing respect for the member. If a member is unhappy with their personal doctor, they can easily choose a new doctor in one of two ways:
Choose a doctor from the online Provider Directory for your plan, or
Call CHP’s Member Services Department at 417-269-2900.
Specialist Doctor
This area captures whether members are able to get an appointment with a specialist when needed, and the rating of the specialist they saw within the past 6 months. Members of CHP health plans do not need a referral from their personal doctor to make an appointment with a specialist.
Health Plan
This category allows members to rate the health plan and answer questions about the health plan’s ability to give members the information they need, whether members are treated with courtesy and respect by health plan representatives, and whether health plan forms are easy to fill out.
Health plan forms are located here on the CHP website.
Results
CHP completes a thorough review of the survey results to better understand member needs, look for trends and find new opportunities for improvement.
This year, our Marketplace plan members responded positively in the Cost section of the survey as well as the Rating of the Health Plan.
CHP identified areas for improvement in improving access to care, tests, and/or treatment as well as improving survey participation.
Action Plan
CHP will continue to work with CoxHealth to improve access to care and specialists. The provider directories located on our website will also be improved and contact information will be verified and checked for accuracy.
If you need to reach a Member Services representative, we offer a live Chat option where members can quickly and easily send us a question and receive information during our business hours. The Chat box appears on any page of our website in the bottom right corner of the screen. Members may also call our Member Services Department with any questions.
Survey results are shared with CHP internal committees, CHP employees, and network providers. Thank you for helping us improve!
