Dental Plan Member Experience Survey (CAHPS-Style)

Q09
AI Interview
Probe the reasoning behind the respondent's overall 0-10 rating of their dental plan: ask what specifically drove that number, anchoring on any network access, appointment wait, customer service, or claims/billing issues they mentioned earlier. If they reported a claims or billing problem, get the specifics of what happened and whether it was resolved. If the rating was low (0-6), ask what single change would move it up; if high (9-10), ask what they'd be most upset to lose.

How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Goes beyond static ratings with an AI follow-up interview that probes the reasoning behind each respondent's 0-10 overall plan rating, so administrators learn the 'why' not just the 'what'
- Covers the full CAHPS-style journey — network access, appointment timeliness, customer service contacts (via a matrix question), and claims/paperwork problems — before asking for an overall rating and likelihood to recommend
- Captures plan context (employer, individual, or other source) and respondent demographics (age range, self-rated dental health, tenure with plan) for proper segmentation of results
- Produces an automated report from combined structured and open-ended responses, with transparent prompts showing exactly how the AI follow-up was conducted
SurveyMonkey
CAHPS® Dental Plan Survey Survey TemplateA ready-to-field template directly modeled on the CAHPS dental plan survey standard, covering similar ground to ours (access, timeliness, customer service). It's a static questionnaire built on SurveyMonkey's established survey infrastructure and analytics dashboard. No mechanism is described for probing individual respondents further on their ratings.
What it does well
- Directly based on the recognized CAHPS dental plan survey framework
- Backed by SurveyMonkey's mature survey distribution and reporting tools
- Likely quick to deploy given its template-library format
Where it falls short
- Static question set with no adaptive follow-up — every respondent who rates their plan a 3 or a 9 gets the same fixed questions
- No voice AI interview option or guided screen-share tasks
- No published methodology showing how responses are scored or interpreted
QuestionPro
Dental Care Survey TemplateA general dental care survey template aimed at capturing patient/member feedback, built on QuestionPro's broader survey platform. It appears to be a standard fixed-question form rather than a CAHPS-aligned instrument specifically, and it doesn't publish methodology for how responses are analyzed. Useful as a generic starting point but not purpose-built for plan-level CAHPS-style benchmarking.
What it does well
- Part of a large, established survey template library
- Likely integrates with QuestionPro's existing analytics and dashboard features
- Flexible enough to be adapted for various dental care contexts
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI interview to dig into the reasoning behind low or high ratings
- No voice-based interview or guided task options
- No transparent, publishable prompt methodology for how any qualitative follow-up (if present) is generated or scored
