Medicare Contractor Provider Satisfaction Survey (MCPSS)
MCPSS Media Kit 2010
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is conducting the fifth administration of the Medicare Contractor Provider Satisfaction Survey (MCPSS). The survey is designed to collect quantifiable data on provider satisfaction with the performance of your Medicare contractor. The MCPSS will be sent to a random sample of approximately 30,000 Medicare fee-for-service providers and suppliers. CMS is listening and wants to hear from you about the services provided by your Medicare contractor. If you are selected to participate in the survey, please take a few minutes and complete this important survey. To learn more about the MCPSS, please visit http://www.cms.hhs.gov/mcpss
