Abstract: The Complaints Resolution project will assist CMS in developing and supporting implementation of a plan performance measure that represents plan resolution of beneficiary complaints from the perspective of the beneficiaries themselves. Thus, the project includes development of methodologies for: 1.) identifying a statistically valid sample of beneficiary complaints needed to analyze the complaint's closure; 2.) contacting, interviewing, and summarizing beneficiary experience; and, 3.) summarizing/analyzing the resultant data to assess veracity of the resolution of beneficiary complaints from the perspective of the beneficiaries themselves via objective exploration of the beneficiary's complaint resolution experience.
