It's a bird, it's a plane, it's...another survey from Magellan*

But you’ll be the superhero when you share your valuable input with us!

While it might seem that we send you multiple requests to complete the same survey, that isn’t the case. We thought it might help to see what’s coming in 2022 and what it’s all about.

If you receive a survey, it matters that we hear from you. It really does! By responding, you help to ensure Magellan members receive the best in care and services.

*In California, Magellan does business as Human Affairs International of California, Inc. and/or Magellan Health Services of California, Inc. – Employer Services.

**As a reminder, the PAAS survey is separate from – and in addition to – the Magellan National Provider Accessibility and EAP provider surveys. The separate Magellan surveys are also required. They allow us to assess the availability of our network providers to assist in appropriate member referrals and identify areas needed for further network development.
