About this Site
Through the Health Care Survey of DoD Beneficiaries, the Department of Defense asks its users to report on the quality of their experience with the military health system (MHS). This site presents scores calculated from responses of users who say they get most of their care from a TRICARE health plan. Scores are presented in four categories:
- Ease of access
- Communication and customer service
- Ratings of doctors, health care and health plan
- Preventive care
The site is set up so that you can see scores for each enrollment and beneficiary group, for CONUS MHS (the MHS in the United States), and each region. Scores are compared to nationally recognized standards or benchmarks. To learn more about how scores and benchmarks were calculated, click on the help button.

In the first page of a report, each column contains a composite score or rating. To see scores users gave to individual aspects of care combined in a composite, click on a column heading. To compare current and past scores, click on the Trend button in the column of the composite or rating you are interested in. The columns are the four most recent survey reference periods. Trend buttons are found in the top row of the table.
