2015 ANNUAL REPORT

Steve Yedlin, MD Chief Medical Officer Lenda Townsend-Williams, MBA Chief Operating Officer

2015 Annual Report Shareholder s Meeting May 3, 2016 To Our Shareholders, 2015 has been a great year. We celebrated our 21st year of success. We will continue to focus on the success of our physicians and supporting them to provide quality care and to improve the health and wellness of the foundation of our community, our pediatric members. As your Independent Practice Association (IPA), we are dedicated to providing support and to operate an effective, well-managed organization with a focus on quality and cost containment. This report highlights some of the accomplishments made possible by the outstanding employees of Children First Medical Group, Inc. We value our physician shareholders who continue to serve as a choice for pediatric well care and specialty care services in the local community, and surrounding counties and states. Thank you for your feedback, support and the exemplary care provided to your patients.

2015 Highlights We increased our provider network in Alameda, Contra Costa, and San Francisco counties by adding primary care physicians from Roots Community Health Center, specialists from San Francisco Oculofacial Plastic Surgery, and UCSF Physicians in Nephrology, Otolaryngology and Plastic Surgery. Eighty-three (83) new physicians joined our network. Primary Care Physicians and Specialty Care Physicians expressed continued high satisfaction with the services provided by CFMG. Successfully met and exceeded financial solvency requirements for the Department of Managed Care. We received 100% on the following audits: 1) Claims 2) Credentialing 3) Utilization Management Excellent Member Satisfaction results with the physician practices rating of 96%. Successfully met National Committee for Quality Assurance and Department of Health Care Services requirements for all delegated activities. The Provider Relations Department received 3,359 calls on the customer service line compared to 3,654 calls in 2014, an 8% decrease. The Medical Management Department processed 7,091 authorizations compared to 6,768 in 2014, a 4.8% increase. We hosted two (2) Provider Education & Training Workshops. We maintained credentialing delegation authority with 19 payors. The Claims Department processed 209,001 paper and EDI claims. The Claims Error Ratio was <1% compared to the industry standard of 5%. 2016 Strategic Focus 1) Improve operating systems and upgrade technology 2) Continued financial stability 3) Expand physician network 1 Children First Medical Group, Inc.

Financial Review In 2015, Children First Medical Group, Inc. continued its course of stable financial growth. Our total revenue increased 7.8%. Our operating expenses remain at approximately 11%, a ratio well within industry standard. Our physician membership increased to 534. We continue to add UCSF faculty who have partnered with our physicians to provide clinic and ED coverage at UCSF Benioff Children s Hospital Oakland. As most know, we also have primary care and specialty physician members who are associated with Stanford and Packard Children s Hospital. For the calendar year 2015, our surplus was a new high of $4.8 Million. About $900,000 was distributed in September. The remainder was distributed in March. This year we faced system challenges with incorrect member counts resulting in over payments of capitation. These were corrected with the surplus distribution to prevent any financial disruption for our providers. We again provided funding to the Children s Specialty Care Coalition (CSCC), a statewide group of California Children Services (CCS) providers that works to ensure continued support for our most at risk patients. The state decided not to renew the waiver that ensures CCS funding as a separate entity last year. It has not committed to any specific plan but clearly is planning to incorporate CCS into managed care. This makes the work of CSCC even more important. The surplus was first determined by providing a participation bonus to both primary care physicians and specialists open to providing services to our Medi-Cal members. A member-month bonus was distributed to our PCPs. The remaining funds were distributed based on services provided by all participating physicians. The healthcare industry (which we clearly are) continues to change with further consolidation of facilities and physicians. The hope is that emphasis on Don Berwick s [former Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and former CEO of the Institute for Health Care Improvement] goals of better health and better health care will prevail. We continue to provide administrative support services to UCSF Benioff Children s Physicians to which many of our physicians belong. We maintain strong relationships with our two Medi-Cal Managed Care plans, Anthem Blue Cross and Alameda Alliance for Health. We continue to successfully meet and exceed financial solvency requirements for the Department of Managed Health Care. 2015 Annual Report to Shareholders 2
