Objective: To examine five enrollee-reported experience of care metrics and assess enrollee, plan, and state characteristics associated with higher care ratings.

Study Setting And Design: We conducted a repeated cross-sectional study using multivariable linear probability models and predictors that captured various enrollee, plan, and state characteristics. We evaluated five enrollee-reported experience of care measures: being "always or usually" easy to get needed care (yes/no), having a personal doctor (yes/no), having timely access to a checkup or routine care (yes/no), having timely access to specialty care (yes/no), and healthcare rating (0-10).
