1 Anthem’s Lumenos Consumer-Driven Health Plans for 10/1/08 Effective Dates and Beyond
Georgia Group Plans State: Thanks you for joining us. We are very excited to share Anthem’s Lumenos Consumer-Driven Health Plans with you. These plans are for effective dates 10/1/08 and beyond.

2 Agenda/ Course Objectives
Consumerism and Why Employers Consider Consumer Driven Health Care Plans (CDHPs) Start with Sound Clinical Strategy Back It Up With Account-based CDHPs: Health Savings Account (HSA) Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) and Health Incentive Account Plus (HIA Plus) Health Incentive Account (HIA) Consumer Support Product Portfolio, Account Funding and Plan Considerations Consumer Communications Next Steps for Your Groups with BCBSGA Review agenda: We will begin with the idea of consumerism so we can ensure everyone is on the same page and working from the same definition of consumerism. Then, we will take a look at Why Employers Consider Consumer Driven Health Care Plans (CDHPs). Our plans begin with a sound clinical strategy. This is a strategy, not just another product. We will then review the account based plans that back up the strategy: Back It Up With Account-based CDHPs: Health Savings Account (HSA); Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) and Health Incentive Account Plus (HIA Plus); and the Health Incentive Account (HIA) You can’t offer a consumer driven healthcare product without support and tools to help consumers make knowledgeable decisions about their health and heathcare. We will review the hi touch, hi tech tools available to consumers on these plans. At that time, we will more into more details about the specific plans available as part of the product portfolio, the account funding options and some considerations when aligning these products with your clients. Lastly, we will take a look at the Consumer Communications paired with these products and review the Next Steps for Your Groups with BCBSGA.

3 How Do We Define Consumerism?
Consumerism is the process of engaging and enabling consumers to make better decisions about their health care. Consumerism can help individuals understand how to: Maintain their good health Improve their risk factors Find the highest quality health care solutions at the best price Describe: It is important to set the stage with consumerism. If you’ve seen any consumer driven health care, you’ve only seen one. Anthem’s Lumenos plans are: Clinically sound Include an integrated and incentivized health improvement program Whether you are sick or whether you are healthy, these plans are for everyone Are plans that encourage consumers to be engaged in their own health

4 An Engaged Consumer… Understands his or her health status/medical conditions and demonstrates good health behaviors Is a smart buyer of health care products and services because they are informed about the quality, value and cost of these products and services Participates in a transformational consumer-focused health plan State: Our goals with consumer driven health care is to engage consumers. We want to transform every group and individual into consumers of healthcare, educate them to be smart buyers of health care , and teach them how to use healthcare differently. We want consumers know their numbers. For example, to know their blood pressure, BMI, cholesterol counts, etc. Every single agent should know that, too. We want consumers to use quality and cost comparison tools and ask questions before they receive care. We want consumers to participate in a plan that enables them to be knowledgeable, confident, and informed. A few ways we do this is by offering: a Nurseline 24X7, 7 days a week health coaches to consumers managing chronic conditions programs to help consumers identify risk factors, help them to lose weight, and to quit smoking If more time, explain that this definition is overarching. For example, in the process of engaging and enabling consumers: There must be transparency of price and quality, so that they become informed and involved. We must provide choices, so they can exercise their knowledge and make sound decisions. We must offer consumers control and sufficient funds in their accounts, so they can effectively manage their health care costs. To help individuals understand and learn how to maintain their good health’ improve their risk factors; and find the highest quality health care solutions at the best price we MUST: Educate them; communicate with them openly and often. Provide tools that are rich with information and that are easy-to-use.

5 How Do Consumers Use Health Care?
Consumers today are “passive.” They’re individuals who “fall into the system.” They’re insulated from the real costs of health care (no price transparency) They typically don’t question the recommendations of their “primary care physician” regarding: Prescriptions (brand vs. generic; cost) Procedures (alternatives) Specialists (competence/track record) Hospitals (price and quality transparency) State: Our program is different because Anthem’s Lumenos plans are designed to transform passive patients into engaged consumers. Most consumers perceive the cost of healthcare as the cost of their co-pays. In the eyes of the consumer, it costs more to go to the movies than go to your doctor. There hasn’t been any motivation on the part of the consumer or the design of healthcare plans to educate consumers on the real price of healthcare. Nor have there been the tools to educate consumers on alternative procedures and to comparison shop for providers and facilities. Milton Friedman quote – no one spends someone else’s money as carefully as they spend their own.  If we had passed out $100 bills to everybody today from the ATM, my bet is that you would spend that money all before the end of the day. Most people would. Where if you were pulling $100 out of your own pocket, it’s going to be different. So it’s the same concept with health care.

6 Why Employers Consider Consumer Driven Health Plans (CDHPs)
State You may be wondering how this relates to your business and your customer. You have been living in a world where increases are going up every year. And you go to see that individual business owner. And the owner says ‘what have you done for me this year? And I don’t want to hear, not even about a 10% increase. Because that’s far more than any other item on the expense sheet. So what are you doing to help me to control and stabilize these costs over the next two or three years?’ And these things, as you’ve now understood, are not the only things impacted. It’s their own employees, it’s the families that they have and we all have covered earlier that three basic behaviors are out of control – smoking, weight control and sedentary life style. One of the interesting stats from a productivity perspective to a business owner is losing 18 days a year for every person that smokes, because of smoke breaks. The smoke breaks total about 18 days a year, so share that with an agent or broker. And think about every single person that they have on their own staff. Our plan addresses that. It encourages people to get involved. Stopping smoking is hard. Losing a great deal of weight is hard. But our program not only includes the benefit but rewards people for doing it by paying them more. So again we’re really helping to be part of the solution. We are putting their money where their mouth is. We’re helping put these programs in place. Facilitator Note Additional information on drivers of healthcare costs: Several underlying drivers contribute to the growth in medical premiums Age wave – Americans getting older and health status is declining (this one is beyond anyone’s control, of course) Increased treatment options with new, expensive technology Consumer entitlement mindset & ease of access to care New (expensive) pharmaceutical and biotech products Regulations, mandates, & compliance adds to costs & administrative complexity in the system which drives sometimes unnecessary spending & waste Medical error rates and malpractice litigation add to the costs In short, premium growth is being driven by: growing demand, for more expensive services, in a wasteful medical environment, fueled by consumers’ belief that they need the latest greatest treatments regardless of cost or the individual’s role in causing the condition.

7 Why Are Employers Considering CDHPs?
Introduce consumerism Want employees to have a better understanding of the cost of care Offer employees more choice Improve employee health Improve employee satisfaction Offer employees opportunity to lower tax burden Increase employee contribution levels Long-term and retirement savings Manage medical costs through better employee health Describe: There are many reasons why employers are considering CDHPs, for example: Anthem Consumer-driven healthcare: Introduce consumerism Want employees to have a better understanding of the cost of care Offer employees more choice Improve employee health Improve employee satisfaction Offer employees opportunity to lower tax burden Increase employee contribution levels Long-term and retirement savings Manage medical costs through better employee health In this environment a consultative and strategic approach is essential to sales success

8 Rising Costs: The “Big 4” Risk Factors
62% of the rise in private insurance costs from was due to population risk factors and their treatment Average 10% of total claims costs attributable to obesity 60% of Americans exceed ideal BMI (body mass index) Soon to become the leading cause of death Average 10% of total claims costs attributable to tobacco 21% of adult Americans smoke Remains leading cause of death 60% perform no substantial activity or exercise Describe the impact of consumer behavior on the cost of health care: Weight, smoking, inactivity, and stress are the types of behaviors that account for 50 to 70% of health care costs. These are sometimes referred to as the “Big 4” costly behaviors when discussing medical costs. An average of 10% of health care claims is attributed to obesity, which is fast becoming the leading cause of death in this country, and another 10% to smoking. 66% of all office visits to family physicians are stress-related, and employee absenteeism, diminished productivity, employee turnover and medical, legal, and insurance fees cost US businesses $300 billion annually in direct and indirect costs. GA ranks number 42 on State Health rank, including a 22% smoking rate and a 27% obesity rate. GA’s smoking and obesity rate is higher than average among all states. Health rankings are based on access to health care, lifestyle, stroke, hypertension, cancer, and high blood cholesterol. State: By offering programs to make better healthy lifestyle choices and by providing coverage for lifestyle improvement programs such as tobacco cessation and weight management, we help consumers to become healthier. Transition: Anthem’s 360° Health program offers consumers support to manage these ‘Big Four’ Risks and more. Facilitator Note: The source of the slide content is Health Affairs The Policy Journal of the Health Sphere (home page ) Two-thirds of all office visits to family physicians are due to stress-related symptoms More than one in four workers have taken a "mental health day" off from work to cope with stress Costs U.S. businesses $300 billion annually in direct & indirect costs Stress

9 CDHP As A Health Care Strategy
Employers and Consumers: Are becoming more sophisticated purchasers of health care benefits Recognize that changing copays, deductibles and increasing employee contributions is not the solution Realize that they must identify and address the fundamental causes of increasing health care costs Are looking for new solutions Are looking for partners that can help them formulate and execute a long term strategy In this environment, a consultative and strategic approach is essential to sales success State: CDH is a strategy, not a product. We have a solution for those small business trying to get costs in control and for those individuals wanting plans that make sense. Are becoming more sophisticated purchasers of health care benefits Recognize that changing copays, deductibles and increasing employee contributions is not the solution Realize that they must identify and address the fundamental causes of increasing health care costs Are looking for new solutions Are looking for partners that can help them formulate and execute a long term strategy Facilitator Notes: Lumenos plan’s book of business for 2005 showed that consumer-driven health care, coupled with the right clinical strategy, can positively impact health care costs, the use of preventive care and consumers’ health behaviors. 2005 results found: A reduction of 15% in overall pharmacy costs; A generic drug substitution rate of 92%; Outpatient visits reduced by 18%; Increased spending on preventive care (5% of total medical expenses were spent by CDHP consumers on preventive care; the remainder of the market spent 2-3%); 53% of consumers reported increased knowledge about managing their health care; 36% reported that they were more actively involved in health-related behaviors; and 20% said their health has improved since enrolling in a Lumenos plan. ( National Employers with over 170,000 consumers. These clients run the gamut and represent widely divergent industries and employee populations: high tech and heavy manufacturing, white and blue collar, rural and urban. Client size ranges from 2 to 90,000 employees.)

10 Selling CDHP - Realities
With 66% of employers considering CDHP … Employer Perspectives on CDHP Strategies Moving or looking to move to a full replacement CDHP option all at once Had CDH plans but reverted back to HMO/PPO plans … can you afford to be on the sidelines? Planning to offer CDHP on a slice basis going forward, don’t anticipate moving to full replacement Not considering Many agents and brokers are already thinking about consumer driven health care. Health savings accounts are in the news and it is a golden opportunity to take advantage of new legislation. For the brokers that want to be a leader in CDHP, now is the time. Now the reality is that the groups that are in financial pain are looking for solutions. Explain: ChapterHouse (a health care industry consulting firm) conducts a survey annually of 20,000 insurance agents and brokers in conjunction with NAHU (National Association of Health Underwriters). Broker responses suggest that 66% of employers are currently considering CDH plans. As a result, even brokers who are skeptical of consumerism will be forced to get on board. The point is: With two thirds of the market considering CDH, neither sales reps nor brokers can afford to sit on the sidelines. Planning to offer CDHP as an option in the short-term then move to a full replacement in the next few years Looking at it, not yet offering Source: ChapterHouse/NAHU Survey

11 Start with Sound Clinical Strategy
Incentive-based Health Improvement Explain: As I mentioned earlier, the Lumenos plans start with an integrated and incentivized health improvement strategy.

12 Incentive-based Strategy
Identify, improve risk and care Provide rewards for updating or completing health risk assessment 80% completion goal Maintain low risk group to a minimum of 70% Our plans are based on the foundation of incentives. We offer incentives, or rewards, for assessing health, maintaining health and reducing health risk factors. Take optimal care of the sick Engage population to understand & reduce risks Provide incentives to complete risk reduction programs

13 Risk Factors Reduction
Risk factors include: Smoking Physical inactivity BMI Alcohol drug use Job/personal dissatisfaction Describe if you look at the typical employer group, about half of the employee based fall in a low risk category; however, we all know that the high risk population accounts for a majority of the healthcare costs. The goal is first to identify the risks, then try to move high risk individuals to medium risk, the medium risk individuals to low risk. Source: D.W. Edington Research GM-UAW LifeSteps Health Promotion Program

14 Identify, improve risk and care
Incentive-based Strategy Identify, improve risk and care Identify MyHealth Assessment $50 reward* for online completion (limited to one reward per family each year) $100 reward* for enrollment for each eligible family member Participation in health coaching programs Engaging with health coach to identify goals; and understand and manage their health condition Engage Health Coaching Participation Our plans are based on the foundation of incentives. We offer incentives, or rewards, for assessing health, maintaining health and reducing health risk factors. Review each section and the incentives tied to them. $200 reward* for graduating from a health coaching program (limited to one reward per family member each year) Goals achieved with knowledge, skills and functional provider-patient relationship Engage Health Coaching Completion *Rewards may be allocations to account or, for fully-insured HSA plans, credit dollars to redeem for gift cards to select health-focused retailers. 

15 Reward Programs & Eligibility

This is double the rate found in 1990, meaning about 25 million more American adults are obese. The health risks associated with being overweight or obese are many, associated with an increased risk of more than 20 conditions including premature death, Type II Diabetes, heart disease, GA ranks number 42 on State Health rank, including a 22% smoking rate and a 27% obesity rate. GA’s smoking and obesity rate is higher than average among all states. Health rankings are based on access to health care, lifestyle, stroke, hypertension, cancer, and high blood cholesterol.

18 Anthem’s CDHP 360º Health Programs
360º Lumenos products 24/7 NurseLine ComplexCare Future Moms MyHealth web tools ConditionCare* MyHealth Coach Healthy Lifestyles Online & Telephonic Coaching Weight Management Smoking Cessation * Asthma, COPD, CAD, Diabetes, and Heart Failure Future Moms HMC’s Maternity Management program helps mothers-to-be to have healthier babies and controls related expenses by focusing on early prenatal interventions, risk assessments and education. It addresses the significant problems associated with high-risk pregnancies and premature births through a comprehensive strategy involving the following interventions, components and services: 24x7 Nurseline. HMC’s URAC-accredited 24/7 NurseLine offers eligible members access to accurate information any time of the day or night. Through one-on-one counseling with experienced nurse care managers available 24 hours a day via a toll free number, members can make more informed decisions about the most appropriate and cost-effective use of health care services. ComplexCare Anthem’s ComplexCare program targets members identified as likely to incur significant medical expenses in the near future, but do not fall into established disease management programs. The ComplexCare program was founded on a proactive, collaborative, member-centric model of care management, in which chronic care management is emphasized for those members with chronic or multiple non-DM type of condition(s) at future high risk. For example, members with various forms of cancer or Multiple Sclerosis (MS) could be targeted for ComplexCare participation. ConditionCare ConditionCare is a voluntary program that provides services and support to positively impact the health and well-being of our members. The overall goals of the program are to: • Help promote and improve the overall health status; and quality of life of members; Help delay disease progression, and avoid and/or; delay the complications associated with the conditions. The conditions addressed by ConditionCare are: • Pediatric or adult asthma; • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; • Heart failure; • Coronary artery disease; • Pediatric or adult diabetes (types I and II) Explain that the Healthy Lifestyles and MyHealth Coach programs are modified for the Lumenos plans.

20 Requesting a Health Coach
Anthem’s Lumenos plans utilize the most current MyHealth Assessment tool. Members are presented with a page to request a health coach contact the member by phone upon completion of the assessment. State: Requesting a health coach is easy. After completing the MyHealth Asessement tool and if the data suggests a member may be eligible for a coaching program, the member is presented with a page to request a health coach contact him/her.

21 What does a member have to do to meet the Activity Achievement criteria?
The member must demonstrate to the health coach that they possess: Knowledge of their condition Self-management skills Ability to comply with the treatment plan Achievement of an effective relationship with a primary care physician You may be wondering what members have to do in order to meet the activity achievement criteria. This is specific to the program, but overall, the consumer must: demonstrate to the health coach that they possess. For example: Knowledge of their condition Self-management skills Ability to comply with the treatment plan Achievement of an effective relationship with a primary care physician

22 Back It Up With Account-based CDHPs
Now let’s take a look at the plan designs which support the integrated, incentvized health improvement strategy.

23 Clinically Appropriate Plan Design
Preventive care Coverage for nationally recommended preventive care services Health account Health account should be sufficient for many people Out-of-pocket responsibility The “bridge” to Traditional Health Coverage – the amount consumer pays to satisfy their remaining deductible after health account funds are exhausted Traditional health plan coverage Coinsurance and annual out-of-pocket protection Sample Plan Design Preventive Care Health Account and/or Rewards I said if you’ve seen one consumer driven plan, you’ve seen one. All of ours have clinically appropriate plan design. It’s is really important. And the reason is…One of the reasons CDH has gotten bad press is because a lot of employers have set up plans that are horrific, and that are just pure cost shift, and not given anyone any information or tools. Our plans, we basically refuse to do that. So all of the plans have preventive care at 100%. They also have an account, they all have the incentives included. And they have a fair and compassionate out of pocket responsibility. Some employers have set up CDH plans which are unfair and unbalanced. So you want to reassure your broker and agent that if they deal with us, they can automatically know they’re covered from a clinical perspective in something that’s fair. Out-of-Pocket “bridge” to Traditional Health Coverage Traditional Health Coverage

24 Types of Lumenos Plans Health Savings Account (HSA)
Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) Health Incentive Account Plus (HIA Plus) Health Incentive Account (HIA) The four types of Lumenos plans are: Health Savings Account (HSA) Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) Health Incentive Account Plus (HIA Plus) Health Incentive Account (HIA)

25 Anthem's Lumenos HSA Plan
We’ll start with the HSA

26 4.5 Million People Enrolled in HSA Plans
Growth of HSA/HDHP Enrollment from March 2005 to January 2007 I probably don’t need to tell you that HSAs have grown tremendously since their inception. If you take a look at the growth, then you’ll see the growth is happening now in the large group and small group markets. HSA plans accounted for 17% of new policies in the small group market and 8% of new policies in the large group market (2007) Source: America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) of U.S. 2007

27 Anthem's Lumenos HSA Plan
Consumers can fund their HSA with pre-tax dollars and can use funds for health care expenses Employers can also contribute to employees’ HSAs Preventive services are covered at 100% In-Network Includes Traditional Health Coverage to cover expenses after the bridge Preventive Care 100% In-Network HSA Funded by annual employee and/or employer contributions You probably have a fairly extensive base of knowledge around the HSA in the sense that consumers can fund their HSA with pre-tax dollars and can use funds for health care expenses and employers can also contribute to employees’ HSAs For 2008, the deductible for self-only coverage must be at least $1,100 (with an annual out-of-pocket limit not exceeding $5,600); the deductible for family coverage must be at least $2,200 (with an annual out-of pocket limit not exceeding $11,200). The annual HSA contribution limit in 2008 for individuals with self-only coverage is $2,900; for family coverage, it is $5,800. Individuals who are at least 55 years of age but not yet enrolled in Medicare may contribute an additional $900. Out-of-Pocket “bridge” to Traditional Health Coverage Traditional Health Coverage

28 HSA Plan Details At-a-Glance
Lumenos HSA Plan Single Coverage Family Coverage Preventive Nationally recommended services No cost, no deduction from HSA with in-network providers HSA <Employer’s annual allocation> Annual HSA contribution maximum <$xxx> $2900 $5800 Traditional Health Coverage Bridge amount to satisfy deductible Your bridge amount is your annual deductible, but can be reduced by any dollars you first use from your HSA for covered services. $2000 $4000 Then, you pay coinsurance for covered services 80%/80% for in-network services 60%/80% for out-of-network services Plan pays 100% after annual out-of-pocket maximum (includes HSA, bridge and coinsurance) In-Network Out of Network $5000 $10000 $20000 This illustrates the details at-a-glance for an HSA. Specific plan is: GHSA / /80 60/ / /20000 In this plan, the emphasis lies in the preventive care, covered at 100% for in-network providers and the tax savings. Highlight the updated HSA allocation rules. Contribution maximums are no longer tied to deductible amounts. A consumer can go up to the full treasury max for individual coverage/family coverage. For calendar year 2008, the limitation on deductions under § 223(b)(2)(A) for an individual with self-only coverage under a high deductible health plan is $2,900. For calendar year 2008, the limitation on deductions under § 223(b)(2)(B) for an individual with family coverage under a high deductible health plan is $5,800. For 2009, the maximum annual HSA contribution for an eligible individual with self-only coverage is $3,000.  For family coverage, the maximum annual HSA contribution is $5,950. Catch up contribution for individual who are 55 or older is increased by statute to $1,000 for 2009 and all years going forward. For 2009, the maximum annual HSA contribution for an eligible individual with self-only coverage is $3,000.  For family coverage, the maximum annual HSA contribution is $5,950. Catch up contribution for individual who are 55 or older is increased by statute to $1,000 for 2009 and all years going forward.

32 Bank of New York Mellon and ACS
The HSA product is administered by professionals in banking, employee benefits, insurance and administration. Nation’s largest HSA administrator in partnership with BNY Mellon Extensive footprint in benefits consulting and outsourcing services BNY Mellon 172 ACS 423 Market leader providing business process and IT outsourcing More than 63,000 employees Human resource consulting and deep insurance expertise The ACS|Mellon HSA begins with an FDIC insured, interest-bearing checking account where all HSA deposits are first credited. No minimum balance is required to open and maintain the HSA checking account. Once account holders’ HSA checking account reaches $2,000, they can begin to diversify their accumulated savings into a wide selection of mutual funds. An HSA Investment Account is easily established online through the HSA Web site. The HSA account holder creates an Investment Account by completing the step-by-step online registration process (this process takes approximately five (5) minutes to complete). Immediately following the account registration process, the HSA account holder can initiate investments online. Investing can be on-demand or established as an automatic, recurring transaction. The investment options include a variety of fund families CDHP H.S.A.  The broker needs to submit the paperwork 4 weeks prior to the clients effective date.

33 Interest Rates and Fee Overview
For the period July 1, 2008, through December 31, 2008, the interest rate to be credited to the Health Savings Account will be %. (Rate fluctuates every 6 months) Fee Overview: One-time setup fee ($15) and monthly maintenance fees ($2.95) are paid by Employee (standard) 51-99 groups have rider option for ER to pay above fees 100+ groups have 3 fee payment options: ER pays setup and monthly fees ER pays setup fee and EE pays monthly fees ER pays monthly fees and EE pays setup fee Account Closure = Free, if closed by check Checks No charge for initial checkbook(40); $10 for additional books No fees for writing checks; Replacement/ additional debit card $5 State: The rate fluctuates every 6 months.

The interest rate is to be set at 185 basis points less than the six-month LIBOR rate as of the immediately preceding May 1 or November 1. 2008 Contribution Limits Set by IRS The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) sets the contribution limit amounts for Health Savings Accounts. The IRS recently announced the contribution limits for 2008, which are $2,900 for those with self-only coverage and $5,800 for those with family coverage. New Investment Options Choice of 20 funds, Ongoing contributions made to investment account in $1 increments above $2,000 balance in transaction account No Investment Minimums — once ACS|Mellon HSA account holders reach $2,000 in their checking account, they can begin investing with no minimum investment required—allowing account holders to take full advantage of periodic investing.

34 Consumer Experience After choosing Anthem’s Lumenos HSA plan, consumers will: Receive an HSA Welcome Kit from Anthem at their home address with their account number; kit to include: Cover Letter with Account Activation Instructions Consumer Signature Card (Master Signature document) Fee & Rate Schedule Deposit ticket HSA Combined Deposit Agreement and Disclosure Documents Return envelope for Master Signature document Complete paper signature card/eSignature to activate account Receive debit card and checkbook Receive monthly bank account statements and year end reports for tax purposes (include 1099-SA sent in January and 5498-SA sent in May) State that this slide reiterates some of the key information about the HSA account owner receives from Mellon. The Signature Card/ Master Signature Document is personalized and bar coded to the consumer. It is important that the consumer use the Signature document that was supplied to them in their Welcome kit. Even when the consumer chooses to activate their account online, they must always send in the Master Signature document. It is the Master Signature document that generates sending the check book and additional deposit slips. Also, if a consumer supplied only their P.O. Box address on their member application, the member needs to include their street address on this form. An account cannot be set up with a P.O. Box address (Patriot Act).

91 Five Ways Our CDH Plans Are the Best
Coherent clinical strategy with proactive health management BCBS brand and BlueCard network Innovation Integrated product Results What distinguishes Lumenos plans are these five ways: Our plans are clinically sound, they have an integrated and incentivized health improvement strategy. BCBSGA has a broad network with deep discounts with the security of Blue Cross and Blue Shield The BlueCross BlueShield brand brings the broadest network of providers to our consumers, thus giving them choice and cost savings for using these providers.  Competitors fall well short on a national basis of matching the Blue network both in terms of overall access and in access to the Best Hospitals in the country. The Anthem Lumenos plans are built on top of this leading network to ensure market superiority. Our CDHPs are innovative. If you’ve seen one CDHP, you’ve only seen one. The Lumenos plans were the first to introduce incentives, first to introduce integrated HSA, and continued to add high value clinical programs (Continually expanding HealthModels, tobacco cessation program, Enhanced Surgical Decision tools) Our plans are easier. One-stop shopping. Seamless consumer experience with one point of contact for all products (HIA, HIA+, HRA and HSA) Integrated “hi-tech and hi-touch” health improvement and care management Point of sale pharmacy experience (HIA, HIA+ and HRA) Fully integrated with Mellon on the HSA product And we have proven results. Achieve lasting employee behavior change Drive customer satisfaction – for consumers and employers Employers report greater satisfaction because they finally are empowered to take control of their health and they have the resources to do so.
