Market forces for change - consumers Americans are sick, with high chronic disease rates Health status Healthcare expense Care control Choice 8% of Americans have diabetes, 15% have high cholesterol, 8% have asthma, 12% have heart disease and 35% are obese, 20% smoke cigarettes Aging population 35% of people with insurance spend more than $1,000 a year on out of pocket expenses; one-third spend more than 10% on healthcare 43% of Americans report difficulty getting and affording insurance as individuals 25% of people skip tests, fail to fill a prescription or fail to schedule specialist care due to expense People want to decide what care they need in cooperation with clinicians, not an insurer. People want the right to select their doctors Less interest traditionally in selecting hospitals or insurers 6
Market forces for change - providers Increasing efforts to pay for value, not volume (VBP, readmissions, HACs, etc.) Health reform Tremendous risk in FFS, and shared savings provides temporary partial relief A step ahead of where the system will be moving Market competition Employers Mission Managing more patients at Medicaid-like reimbursement rates If you don t move toward integration, physician organizations, clinics, insurers and employers will Market consolidation is inevitable Early adopters are early winners Employers may be in the position to direct care to you, or not Opportunity to improve the health of your population 7
Market forces for change - payors 80-85 of all premiums must go to medical expenses Health reform Market competition Employers CMS Premium rates are under intense scrutiny Medicare Advantage cuts, new state exchanges Transparency on cost and quality demanded by patients, reform law Insurers will need to compete on value Market consolidation is perceived as enabling cost increases Employers must cut their healthcare spend ACOs are an attractive way to cut costs, while possibly offering better benefits CMS pilot programs will test payment reform There is clear direction that CMS is moving toward pay for value models Representing a large chunk of reimbursement volume, CMS will impact the market Medicaid expansion and dire straits for state budgets 8
A new way to envision care Colorectal screening Breast cancer screening Flu shot Pneumonia vaccination Diabetes care Harm prevention Risk adjusted mortality Evidence based care Provider network Payor partners Community services partnerships Shared management and contracting Medical management Patients Improve population health Partnerships across the care continuum Peoplecentered foundation Improve care experience Reduce per capita costs Global rating of all healthcare Global rating of personal doctor Global rating of specialist seen most often Getting needed care Shared decision making Total cost PMPM Admits per 1000 members/year 30 day readmissions ED visits/1000 Hospital admissions for ambulatory care sensitive conditions 9

Population selection: AtlantiCare example 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Target population, by prevalence This population s care costs $15,000 a year, 4X the average 24
Measures selection: AtlantiCare example Special Care Center Outcomes Measures Population health Chronic disease outcomes in top decile Reduction or elimination of racial/ethnic disparities 98% medication compliance Cost effectiveness 40% reduction in hospital and ED usage 10-25% reduction in overall care costs Experience of care 2X improvement in care experience scores 25
Outcomes: AtlantiCare example 63% of heart and lung patients quit smoking Prescription fill rates between 97%-99% For patients with high blood pressure, the average drop after 6 months was 26 points For patients with diabetes, A1C dropped 2.38 points on average 30 day hospital readmissions range from 4 to 5 percent, compared to baseline of 10 to 12 percent Net healthcare costs in the first year declined12.3% 23% drop in outpatient procedures 41% fewer inpatient hospital admissions 48% percent fewer ED visits 26
CMS ACO Shared Savings Rule 2 Tracks Track 1 Bonus only in years 1 and 2 no downside risk Two-sided risk at year 3 Up to 52.5% shared savings Caps savings at 7.5% of benchmark in years 1 & 2 and 10% in year 3 Caps losses in year 3 at 5% Threshold of 2%-3.9% depending on size of population Track 2 Two-sided risk starting in year 1 Up to 65% shared savings First dollar savings/loss after threshold surpassed Caps savings at 10% of benchmark Caps losses at 5% in year 1, 7.5% in year 2, 10% in year 3 Threshold of 2% 27
Proposed ACO regulations What we like: What we want: Timely data from CMS Educating beneficiaries Multiple payment models Clinically integrated for antitrust purposes Safe harbors Consensus-based measures Antitrust safety zones Expedited advisory opinion process Higher shared savings and no withhold Payment model with no risk Preference to ACOs in private market Relax EHR MU requirement Capitation model Broadened legal waivers Exclusion of IME/DSH Wage adjustment Medicaid Adjust risk scores each year 28
We must move forward, regardless of reform
