Through the Health Care Survey of DoD Beneficiaries, the Department of Defense asks its beneficiaries to describe their children's health care. This site presents scores on a 0 to 100 scale calculated from parents’ survey responses on these topics:

• Ease of access to health care for their children
• Communicating with their children's health care providers and getting help from their health plan's customer service
• Ratings of their children's personal doctor, health care, specialty care and health plan
• Special Topics including how much the parents feel they are involved in their child's health care and whether their children's special healthcare needs are met.

The site is set up so that you can see scores for each region for CONUS MHS (the MHS in the United States). Scores are compared to nationally recognized standards or benchmarks. Each report shows scores for different age groups and enrollment groups.
