We want to hear from YOU!

PNHP is asking beneficiaries of Medicare to help us understand their experiences with Traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage—and to identify the issues they have faced when accessing health care. Our goal is to protect and improve Medicare, and advocate for the best possible health care system.

PNHP surveys are confidential, and we will not sell or share your personal information. All data will be anonymized when used for any public-facing materials such as reports or data analyses.
