Survey: My Individual Experience
What is this?
This is a survey from the NC Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). It is for people who are on a Medicaid waiver. The Medicaid waiver pays for many of the services that you get. Your waiver may be called Innovations, CAP/DA or CAP/C.
There is a new rule in the United States. It is about Medicaid waivers. It is called the Community Settings Rule. Providers of Medicaid waivers must follow the new rule. The rule says that Medicaid waiver services must be given in a way that helps you to be a real part of the community.
Some people get Medicaid waiver services in a home that belongs to a provider. You may be one of these people. The new rule tells providers what they must do to be sure that the place that you live looks and feels like your home.
DHHS has until March 17, 2023 to be sure that all Medicaid waiver providers in North Carolina are following the new rule. It’s a big job. We need your help.
More information is available about this new rule.
This presentation, My Individual Experience Survey, was developed to provide an overview of the My Individual Experience (MIE) Survey. The survey was developed to measure participant's satisfaction, level of awareness of and access to their rights, privacy requirements and member experience expectations, as outlined in the HCBS requirements. The PowerPoint slides of the presentation are also available by clicking, My Individual Experience Survey (PDF, 411 KB).
In North Carolina, the My Individual Experience Survey Pilot Phase was conducted in the fall of 2016.Pilot Phase findings are available at: MIE Pilot Phase Data Fall 2016. As of January 2017, NC DHHS has requested that LME/MCOs encourage beneficiaries to complete the survey during the beneficiary’s birth month. Doing so, will make it easier in the event the beneficiary requires assistance as the Care Coordinator can assist during the development of the ISP.
