2 About Mercy Care Plan (MCP) Long Term Care In 2007, Aetna acquired Schaller Anderson, a managed Medicaid company. Schaller Anderson was created in 1987 by founders who helped re-shape Arizona Medicaid, the nation's first statewide Medicaid program based on managed care principles. We manage: Services for more than 1.3 million members nationwide* $3.5 billion in health care expenses annually We utilize managed care strategies and tools through a variety of business models, including non-risk managed care organizations, enhanced PCCM and ASO services. Our keys to success: Partnership, clinical integration and technology. More than two decades of Medicaid experience, managing an array of Medicaid populations, including TANF, SCHIP, ABD (including physically and developmentally disabled), LTC and Children with Special Health Care Needs (including foster care children). * 1 million members and 300,000 members in targeted managed care programs 2
3 Managed care for duals and non-duals who are long-term care eligible is a win-win!

Win for long-term care (LTC) Medicaid recipients who prefer a plan that offers them choice of where they receive services. 3
4 Who needs long-term care services? 10 million Americans, 5% of the population, needed LTC services for daily-living activities in Baby Boomers With 76 million baby boomers now approaching retirement age, the number of Americans who will need LTC services is expected to double by 2040 to 21 million members. Millions

30 30 MCP Health Outcomes & Quality Measures
31 Rebalancing Institutional and HCBS Services A recent AARP study shows the majority of people age 50 and older and those with disabilities want to age in place and prefer to live in their own home. States are making progress toward rebalancing institutional services to HCBS: Note: HCBS includes home health, personal care services and home and communitybased service waivers. Source: KCMU and Urban Institute analysis of HCFA/CMS- 64 data. 31
32 Rebalancing Institutional and HCBS Services MCP Medicaid s Integrated Long-Term Care Model has been very successful in Arizona. We have been a proud partner with the state since
33 Dual Eligibles January 1, 2006 Mercy Care Plan passively enrolled over 14,000 dual eligible members into Medicare Advantage (MA) Special Needs Plan (SNP) Mercy Care Plan s Long Term Program has: 79.5% dual eligible members 50% are with MCP s SNP (MCA) Dual members not enrolled with MCA are either with another MA Plan or the Traditional FFS Medicare 33
34 ALTCS Outcomes Annual growth of capitation paid to plans has consistently remained lower than trend for LTC Services. Reasons: Percentage of members residing in alternative residential settings has doubled Proportion of members remaining in their own home continues to increase Percentage of members in Nursing Homes has consistently decreased According to an external study, ALTCS saved approximately 16% per year over what would have been spent had the members remained in a FFS environment 34
35 What Members are Saying About ALTCS 93% of members were satisfied with their case manager 91% of members were satisfied with their doctor 95% of members were satisfied with their home and community based caregiver 93% of members were satisfied with their nursing facility caregiver 35
36 Summary Mercy Care Plan s Integrated LTC Model provides many valuable opportunities, including: Improved health outcomes Improved access to care Cost savings Budget predictability Consumer satisfaction Remember There s No Place Like Home... 36
