1 2011 ANNUAL REPORT SHAREHOLDERS MEETING April 24, 2012 CHILDREN FIRST MEDICAL GROUP Arnold Blustein, MD Board President Steven Yedlin, MD Chief Medical Officer Lenda Townsend-Williams, MBA Chief Operating Officer
2 Lenda Townsend-Williams, MBA Chief Operating Officer Steve Yedlin, MD Chief Medical Officer To Our Shareholders Children First Medical Group continues to provide high quality care and to improve the health and wellness of pediatric members. Our physician shareholders continue to serve as a choice for pediatric well care and specialty care services in the local community, and surrounding counties and states. As your Individual Practice Association (IPA), we remain committed to operate a well-managed organization in an organized and efficient manner while containing costs. Thank you for your continued participation and ongoing support of our mission. Overall membership increased by 10% Highlights Membership in Alameda Alliance for Health increased by 10%. Membership in Anthem Blue Cross State Sponsored Program increased by 9%. The Claims Department processed 244,389 paper and EDI claims. The Claims Error Ratio was <1% compared to the industry standard of 5%. The Medical Management Department processed 8,493 authorizations compared to 8,754 authorizations in Primary Care Physicians and Specialty Care Physicians expressed satisfaction with the services provided by CFMG with a rating of 100% and 75% respectively. Member Satisfaction was also excellent with Primary Care Practices receiving a rating of 97% and Specialty Care Practices 96%. Thirty-six (36) new physicians joined our network. The Provider Relations Department received 2,904 calls on the customer service line compared to 2,456 calls in We hosted four (4) Provider Education & Training Workshops. We published two (2) Quarterly Provider Newsletters.
3 Successfully met NCQA and Department of Health Care Services requirements for all delegated activities. We maintained credentialing delegation authority with 23 payors. We enhanced our provider network in Alameda and Contra Costa County by adding Webster Orthopedics. They have offices in Oakland, Berkeley, Livermore, Pleasanton, San Ramon, and Walnut Creek. We received 100% on the following audits: 1) Claims 2) Credentialing 3) Quality Management 4) Utilization Management Steve Yedlin, MD Chief Medical Officer Lenda Townsend-Williams, MBA Chief Operating Officer
4 Financial Review Children First Medical Group (CFMG) total revenue increased by 22% with an increase in member-months of 11%. Operational expenses decreased by 6%. The total operating costs decreased $200,000 and from 15% to 11% of total revenue. These comparisons are influenced by changes in the business. Revenue increases include changes in the Alameda Alliance for Health (Alliance) contract. Currently, we are paid capitation for preventative services. Previously, we were paid Fee-For-Service as a pass-through from Alliance. Operating revenue currently includes nurse advice line services for which we collect payment to be passed on to the service provider. Results are better reflected in the year end surplus. CFMG reserve funds available for distribution as surplus for 2011 were $3.4 million, $1.7 million more than This is the result of a decrease in administrative expenses, well as an improved Alliance contract. The adoption of a new single fee schedule for both health plans helped control costs. Prior to shareholder distribution and consistent with prior years, funds were allocated from reserve dollars to pay for a variety of CFMG sponsored activities. These funds included a $26,500 donation to the Children s Specialty Care Coalition. This is a statewide association of pediatric California Children Services (CCS) providers that leads the effort to protect the CCS program and the level of CCS reimbursement. It is currently working with the State to find ways to maintain service while decreasing cost for both patient care and program administration. The remaining surplus was distributed to CFMG pediatric specialists and primary care providers who were active participants in the Medi-Cal Managed Care program in appreciation for their continuing support both for participation and in proportion to services rendered. This includes a return of the entire 0.25 PMPM withhold on PCP capitation payments. Under direction from our board of both primary care and specialty physicians, the overall payment to the two groups including surplus has been balanced to the same multiple of the Medi-Cal Fee Schedule. This has formalized a policy in place for several years. It moves us away from the original capitation formula based on services provided to Medi-Cal members in the early 90s, before the advent of managed care for Medi-Cal. Despite continued financial problems at the State level, our contracts with the health plans have remained intact. We anticipate stable results this year. We continue to successfully meet and exceed financial solvency requirements for the Department of Managed Health Care.

Electronic Medical Record Update (EMR)
9 As we noted last year, the federal government is providing funds through the ARRA-HITECH Act to help Medicaid and Medicare providers purchase and maintain EMR systems. Although there are no penalties yet on the Medicaid side, Medicare providers will begin to be paid lower rates if they have not installed EMRs beginning in You should expect sooner or later the same will be true for Medicaid and perhaps commercial payors as well. After a review of available systems we recommended eclinicalworks as a vendor of choice. Lumetra, as the Regional Extension Center, has done a good job helping providers with vendor contracts as well as evaluations. They will also help providers register and apply for the federal subsidies. In March, Children s Hospital Oakland signed a contract to purchase Epic for the hospital and its clinic sites. It is expected they will be able to offer Epic to community medical staff as well. Details have yet to be worked out. We hope to have Epic live at the hospital by the end of 2013 and to start implementing community practices soon thereafter. The advantage of Epic for the community is the interconnectivity for hospital and specialists as well as the ability to connect to any Epic site anywhere. We do not know what the cost will be as yet. Please keep in mind the primary reason to implement these systems is to improve patient safety and to have clinical decision support. These issues should be foremost when you are evaluating systems for your practice.
10 Steve Yedlin, MD Chief Medical Officer Medical Management Sylvia Herrick, RN, MS Director, Utilization/Quality Management The Medical Management Department continued to improve operations and updated all policies and procedures according to health plan requirements. The Department processed 8,493 authorizations, compared to 8,754 authorizations in We underwent annual health plan audits by Alameda Alliance for Health and Anthem Blue Cross State Sponsored Program. The Department successfully met NCQA and Department of Health Care Services (DHS) requirements for all delegated activities: Utilization Management - 100% Quality Management -100% Medi-Cal Specific Activities -100% Credentialing -100% Claims-100% Hospital Utilization Overall, hospital utilization for the Medi-Cal and Healthy Families programs was lower than Admits/ 1000 = % lower than 2010 ALOS = 2.44 days 5% higher than 2010 Days/ 1000 = % lower than 2010 Hospital utilization for the AAH Non-Mandatory Managed Medi-Cal Members. Since this is a high-risk population, CFMG continues to closely monitor their hospital and ED utilization. Admissions and Days/K were lower compared to Admits/ 1000 = % lower than 2010 ALOS = 3.05 days 5% higher than 2010 Days/ 1000 = % lower than 2010 Children s Hospital & Research Center Oakland ER Utilization Overall, ED utilization for Medi-Cal and Healthy Families programs was higher compared to ED Visits/1000 = % higher than 2010 Overall, ED Utilization for AAH Non-Mandatory Managed Medi-Cal Members was lower compared to ED Visits/ 1000 = % lower than 2010
11 The UM / QM Committees met quarterly to review utilization data, member grievances, satisfaction surveys, quality improvement reports, and to approve policies and procedures. Quality Improvement Studies CFMG conducted the following quality improvement studies in 2011: Access to Care Telephone Answer Survey o The median telephone response time for the Primary Care offices was 5 seconds, and 18 seconds for the Specialty offices. Average Wait for new Specialty Appointments o The average wait for a non-urgent, new patient appointment ranged from 1-4 weeks. Appropriate Utilization of Emergency Services o CFMG notified the PCP's of members with 3 or more ED visits per quarter. Pediatric Advice Line Utilization and Quality Report Member Mortality Report Claims Input Error Report o The claims error ratio was <1%, which is well below the industry standard of 5%. The QM Department provides support to Alameda Alliance in resolving member grievances. Only two member grievances were received during the year. Provider Satisfaction Survey CFMG conducted its annual Provider Satisfaction Survey in the fall of this year. Providers expressed continued satisfaction with services provided by CFMG. The overall satisfaction ratings for 2011 were: Primary Care Physicians 100% Specialists 75%
12 Member Satisfaction Survey Once again, members reported a high level of satisfaction with the care provided by CFMG. Surveys were distributed in Chinese, English, Spanish, and Vietnamese. Our physicians received the highest satisfaction rating from their members, since the beginning of the survey process in 2002, which shows their commitment to delivering high quality care. The overall satisfaction ratings for 2011 were: Primary Care Physicians 97% Specialists 96%
