Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems

What is CAHPS? 

Every year the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) sends a survey to a group of Devoted Health members to measure their experiences with their healthcare providers and health plans. When members receive the survey, agents can help by answering questions about it. They can also encourage individuals to take the survey and use this guide to address their concerns. 

Why does CAHPS matter? 

It’s important to Devoted Health to deliver the best care possible. CAHPS accounts for 35% of our Star rating, and so it helps us grow and reach our 4+ Star goals.

Broker news

Your source for Aetna Medicare broker news and information

January 30, 2024

January is Mental Health Awareness Month: Find out how your clients can improve their mental health.

Open Enrollment Period (OEP)

What is the Medicare OEP?

OEP runs from January 1 to March 31. During this time, beneficiaries who elected a Medicare Advantage plan (MA/MAPD) during the Annual Enrollment Period can switch to a different Medicare Advantage (MA/MAPD) plan or return to Original Medicare (with or without prescription drug coverage). Review OEP do’s and don’ts.

You can continue supporting D-SNP and LIS-eligible clients during this time

While you’re not allowed to proactively market to MA/MAPD enrollees during OEP. You are allowed to continue marketing to consumers who are eligible for Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNP) or Extra Help (Low Income Subsidy), as these clients are able to make one change per quarter

Member retention

You can help ensure your clients have a positive start to 2024 by helping them with questions on hot topics like member ID cards, prescription refills, finding providers and plan benefit questions. Get tips on answering their FAQs.

Product and benefit information

Eligible members with an Extra Benefits Card through NationsBenefits can now get grocery delivery through Uber Eats

Members with an Extra Supports Wallet or Healthy Foods Wallet on their Extra Benefits Card can now access grocery delivery through Uber Eats. Some of the major retailers who sell grocery products out of Uber’s network include—Walmart, Costco, Albertsons, SEG, Hyvee, CVS, Walgreens, Target, and others. Members can place their order through the UberEats app or online at UberEats.com. You can share this flyer, “Uber Eats grocery delivery, explained” with your clients.

Aetna Medicare Payment Card is now administered by Inspira Financial (formerly PayFlex)

Some Aetna Medicare plans include an Aetna Medicare Payment Card, which was previously administered by PayFlex®. In 2024, PayFlex is becoming Inspira Financial. Let members know what to expect during this transition:

  • The physical card will continue to show “PayFlex.”
  • But members will start seeing “Inspira Financial” on related materials.
  • PayFlex websites will now automatically redirect to www.inspirafinancial.com.
  • If members try to download the PayFlex app to manage their card, they will find the Inspira Financial app instead.
