Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) Selection Letter

What is it?

The Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) is a survey of people with Medicare. We use it to learn more about things like how people get their health care, the rising cost of health care, and how satisfied people are with their care. Learn more about the survey.

You may be selected to participate in the MCBS. If so, you’ll get a letter explaining that someone from NORC at the University of Chicago will be in touch to set up an interview. NORC is the company that helps us conduct the survey.
