CAHPS Scores Count in FEHB Performance
OPM uses CAHPS results as part of the FEHB Plan Performance Assessment (PPA); six CAHPS measures are included in that set. The PPA is linked to carrier profit and adjustment factors, and FEHB contracts include language making the PPA a determinant of the Service Charge or Performance Adjustment.
Annual CAHPS Survey for Federal Enrollees
If you are a federal employee or retiree (including Postal), OPM plans to run the CAHPS enrollee survey annually. The agency estimates 48,829 respondents, about 15 minutes per respondent, for a total burden of 12,207 hours, and it is accepting public comments through December 1, 2025.
Renewal Says No New Major Costs Expected
OPM states the CAHPS renewal does not anticipate major changes or extra costs and invites public feedback that could shape how the survey runs next. Comments on the information collection are being accepted until December 1, 2025.
