Employee Wellness Solutions Kevin J. Klobucar President and CEO Blue Care Network of Michigan

Introduction Rising health care costs and the fact that only about three percent of U.S. health care expenditures are for prevention and wellness while 97 percent is spent on acute and chronic illnesses indicated a need to develop a wellness based product that incorporated a partnered accountability approach This need was supported by national polls that showed that U.S. adults thought that it was fair to ask people with unhealthy lifestyles to pay higher out-of-pocket costs The approach that the Blues came up with aligned wellness with financial incentives and included the following elements: Member accountability to follow a healthy lifestyle Employer commitment to wellness Primary care physician cooperation and support Health plan tools and support Healthy Blue Living℠, introduced in October 2006, was the first participation-based HMO health plan in Michigan to offer financial incentives to individuals for working toward healthy goals Data Sources: Centers for Disease Control; Harris Interactive Health Care Poll

Health Plan Product Solutions Healthy Blue LivingSM, the first of a family of wellness-based Blue products, has received an overwhelmingly positive response Enrollment currently stands at more than 118,000 members and 900 groups as of August 2010 52 percent of the groups represent new HMO business Employers have received premium reductions or reduced claim costs by approximately 10 percent Other wellness based products followed: Healthy Blue IncentivesSM – participation based PPO option was introduced in 2008 Healthy Blue OutcomesSM – PPO plan introduced in 2010 offers financial awards tied to member health outcomes Healthy Blue Living RewardsSM – HMO plan recently introduced expands on original participation based Healthy Blue Living with an outcome-based component The Healthy BlueSM family of products are wellness-based HMO and PPO plans from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network that reward employees for making better health choices.

Healthy Blue LivingSM Product Design Overview Healthy Blue Living is structured around six health measures that focus on high-impact health areas that individuals can manage. Measures selected based on potential to impact health care costs and likelihood that an individual will develop a chronic or disabling condition Maximum benefit level with lower copays and deductibles is based on commitment to achieve wellness targets (Enhanced benefit vs. Standard benefit) Program designed to promote partnership with primary care physician in achieving improved health outcomes Health plan care management programs offered to support targeted areas Employer commitment to support healthier lifestyles through worksite wellness programs, healthier meal options and smoke-free work environments Health measure Wellness target Tobacco Non-tobacco user Weight Body mass index below 30 Blood pressure Below 140/90 Cholesterol LDL-C below target (based on risk factors: <100, <130 and <160) Blood sugar At or below target (fasting blood sugar or A1C) Depression Any depression is in full remission
