5 States have a considerable amount of flexibility in deciding how to structure their Public Individual and Small Group Exchanges. Key 2014 Provision: Insurance Exchanges Exchange Eligibility: Full-time employees of small businesses from 1 to 100 employees State option to limit to businesses of 50 or less until 2017 States will decide on the degree of choice offered to employees through the small business Exchange and how employers can provide contributions toward employee coverage Beginning in 2017, states will have the option to open the Exchanges to large employers Individual Exchange Private Exchange Exchange Eligibility: US citizen or legal alien Not incarcerated Resident of the state in which Exchange is based Access to Premium Tax Credits and Cost Sharing Subsidies: Between 133% and 400% FPL Not offered affordable coverage through an employer Description: May allow health plans to target employers that are potentially interested in defined contribution for their employees Potentially more health plan flexibility as plans may not need to meet QHP (Qualified Health Plan) standards Regulatory issues to be considered include state insurance law, rating, anti-selection, risk management, and antitrust requirements Access to Premium Tax Credits and Cost Sharing Subsidies: No access to tax credits and subsidies Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP Exchange)

12 What is Value? “Value” is the patient health outcome achieved per healthcare dollar spent. Our strategy is to provide improved value through population health management, which is built on the foundation of the Triple Aim: 1) Improve patient experience/engagement; 2) Improve population health; 3) Reduce aggregate cost of care. Definition of “value” from: Porter ME. What is value in health care? N Engl J Med 2010; 363:2477-81.

20 Definition of Bundled Payments Bundled Payments can be defined as payments that reimburse providers on the basis of expected costs for clinically-defined episodes of care. They are a mid-point on the road to payment reform. Where Bundled Payments Have Succeeded Medicare Participating Heart Bypass Center Demo CMS (HCFA) spending declined by 15.5% in the first 2 years. CMS Acute Care Episode demonstration 20% reduction in supply costs at Hillcrest Savings of $4 million in device/supply costs at Baptist Health. Congressional Budget Office (CBO) Study of 34 Demonstration Programs Only 1 demonstration program saved a significant amount of money – using Bundled Payments. RAND Health study of payment reform options Bundling had the most to offer – the potential for a 5.4% reduction in prices.

21 Aetna and Bundled Payments With Bundled Payments, Aetna aims to support the “Triple Aim” of improved population health, improved patient experience and reduced cost of care. First Principles for Bundled Payments In designing our Bundled Payment program, Aetna principles include: In pursuing bundles, or any payment innovation, Aetna aims to improve quality of care while reducing costs. Aetna puts a premium on quality measurement in bundles and sees the opportunity to align incentives to ensure quality care as a key advantage of bundled payments. Yet, it’s also true that: When it comes to Bundled Payment contracts, one size doesn’t fit all. It is important to meet providers where they are (on risk and integration).

22 Pay-for-Performance – Payment Reform’s Underpinnings Pay-for-Performance (P4P) can mean a stand-alone program, but there are P4P components to any payment mechanism that ties payment to achievement of quality metrics, including most programs whose results are on these slides. Aetna’s Hospital and Specialty P4P programs offer hospitals and providers scorecards that assess their proficiency at improving outcomes and following evidence-based processes of care. They also reward facilities and providers that publicly report on the quality of the care they offer. Aetna’s goals for the program include: Ensure quality care for the money hospitals receive. Ensure hospitals operate efficiently. Closing the gap between low-and-high performers.

34 What is Your ACO Readiness? Do you have a population based care management program? How strong is your commitment to the triple aim of better care, better health, reduced costs? Have you embraced the PCMH philosophy? Can you embrace payer discipline? Are you ready to share risk with payers or the government? Do you have an organizational commitment to transformation? How are you perceived by your community (do employers see you as a partner in helping manage their benefit costs)? Does your existing “owned” or “clinically integrated” provider network provide adequate geographic coverage for your targeted population or do you need more partners? Does your technology plan support population health management?
