SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: TRICARE Select Survey of
Beneficiaries (TSS-B); OMB Control Number: 0720-TSSB.
Needs and Uses: The TSS-B is a population-based survey, not a
healthcare encounter-based survey; this makes it unique as the only
survey of the entire TSS-B beneficiary population regardless of whether
they have had a recent health care encounter. TSS-B is the sole source
for Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS)
which captures patient experience of the TSS-B population. This
information collection, which began in 2009, is used in reports to
Congress and by working groups within the DHA. The TSS-B data is
required by DHA for Contract Data
[[Page 78339]]
Requirements List (CDRL) Q120. TRICARE contractors use TSS-B data under
CDRL Q120 for federal contracts to evaluate and identify issues related
to patient experience and access to care for TSS-B. This includes
developing executive reports and action plans on CAHPS Health Plan
measures, which are delivered to DHA's Managed Care Support Program.
This data is also used for regular Government Accountability Office
(GAO) audits of care for TSS-B.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 1,250.
Number of Respondents: 5,000.
Responses Per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 5,000.
Average Burden Per Response: 15 minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
Dated: November 7, 2023.
