Project:The MCBS is a study to learn more about people who use
Medicare, in order for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
(CMS) and researchers to learn more about Medicare beneficiaries
their health care experiences. The MCBS has been conducted since
1991 because the information you provide about your health and
health care costs is so valuable. CMS, part of the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services, oversees Medicare and sponsors this
survey in order to gain valuable information from you about how
Medicare is administered. This study is the only source of such
in-depth health care cost and use, which are used to accomplish the
following:
- To help us understand how Medicare affects beneficiaries' daily
life, and what problems they might be experiencing with it.
- To help increase Medicare coverage and efficiency for
beneficiaries, both now and in the future.
- To provide legislators and policy makers with more information
to create effective laws and regulations for people enrolled in
Medicare. In fact, the Part D prescription drug benefit was created
in part based on findings from the MCBS.
- To improve the quality-of-care Medicare beneficiaries
receive.
- To create reports using data collected to describe key factors
about how people use Medicare.As an interviewer, you will ask you
questions about the health care services, opinions about those
services, and how much they cost. Interviewers will be required to
work extensively with supporting healthcare documentation provided
by the respondents to extract and enter appropriate information for
the questionnaire. You will be trained on these specific skills. In
the future, interviewers will be required to conduct physical
measurements, e.g. height, weight, ability to walk 10 feet
unassisted, grip strength, etc. To ensure consistent performance of
these measures, interviewers will be trained on these measures and
will need to demonstrate as needed for respondents to conduct them
properly.You can read more about Medicare Current Beneficiary
