4 Objectives and Methodology

5 5 7th EDITION Research Objectives Understand the changes underway in the oncology environment and in payer management Examine the possible implications for payers, oncologists, and practice managers Track and understand key events in the market and provide a detailed portrait of the managed care and oncology practice environments

6 6 7th EDITION Research Methodology An independent study undertaken semiannually by Zitter Health Insights, a healthcare research firm that provides insights to life science companies and managed care organizations related to product access, reimbursement, and managed markets The study asked survey participants to respond to questions specifically regarding their commercial business The research described in this presentation entails concurrent web-based quantitative surveys with 3 arms from the Winter 2014 edition: *Consisted of feedback from managed care decision makers. † Consisted of feedback from oncologists from a variety of practice groups. ‡ Consisted of feedback from practice managers from a variety of practice groups. Winter 2014 Edition Managed Care sample*103 Oncologist sample † 103 Practice Manager sample ‡ 103 Research was fielded betweenDecember 24, 2013, and February 10, 2014

7 Practice Organization Payers anticipated a decrease in the percentage of oncologists within their network who would practice in non-ACO/non-PCMH community practices over the next 12 months. More payers than oncologists (69% vs 39%) felt that payers had an interest in keeping community practices viable to maintain competition in the marketplace.

8 8 6th EDITION Practice Configuration Within the given time frame and practice structure, approximately what percentage of oncologists within your commercial network are currently practicing? Will they 12 months from now? Payers n=100. No significant changes anticipated. Percentage of Payers (n=61) Unsure (n=39) Percentage of Payers (n=61) Unsure (n=39) Key Finding Over the next 12 months, payers anticipated a decrease in the percentage of oncologists within their network who would practice in non-ACO/non-PCMH community practices.

9 9 6th EDITION Community Practices: Payer Perspectives Do you feel payers have an interest in keeping community practices viable to maintain competition in the marketplace? How much of an influence does your organization’s interest in keeping community practices viable to maintain competition in the marketplace have on its stance in negotiations with physicians regarding drug reimbursement rates? No impact at all (1) or limited impact (2) Some impact (3) Meaningful impact (4) or significant impact (5) Unsure Percentage of Payers † Yes 69% No 16% Unsure 15% Percentage of Payers* *Payers n=100. † Payers n=69; Mean=3.40. Key Finding Sixty-nine percent of payers felt that they had an interest in keeping community practices viable in order to maintain competition; payers generally believed this interest has an impact on their negotiating position.

10 10 6th EDITION Community Practices: Oncologist Perspectives Do you feel payers have an interest in keeping community practices viable to maintain competition in the marketplace? How much of an influence does this belief by commercial insurers’ impact their stance in negotiations with physicians regarding drug reimbursement rates? Percentage of Oncologists † Yes 38% No 39% Unsure 23% Percentage of Oncologists* *Oncologists n=103. † Oncologists n=39; Mean=3.06. No impact at all (1) or limited impact (2) Some impact (3) Meaningful impact (4) or significant impact (5) Unsure Key Finding Oncologists were split on whether they believed payers had an interest in keeping community practices viable, as well as what impact this interest could have on payers’ negotiating position.

11 11 5th EDITION Practice Consolidation Efforts Within the past 12 months, has your organization been approached by, or has itself actively approached, any of the following parties regarding consolidation? Asked of oncologists and practice managers whose practices are independent Oncologists n=71; Practice Managers n=67. No significant differences between stakeholders. Not applicable, we have not engaged in any conversations about consolidation Hospital/hospital system Larger community oncology practices (10 or more physicians) (independent of national/regional oncology practice associations) National/regional oncology practice associations (such as US Oncology) Smaller community oncology practices (fewer than 10 physicians) (independent of national/regional oncology practice associations) Other OncologistsPractice Managers Percentage of Respondents

14 14 6th EDITION Summary of Findings: Practice Organization Over the next 12 months, payers anticipated a decrease in the percentage of oncologists within their network who would practice in non-ACO/non-PCMH community settings Sixty-nine percent of payers felt that they had an interest in keeping community practices viable in order to maintain competition; payers generally believed this interest could impact their negotiating position Oncologists were split on whether they believed payers had an interest in keeping community practices viable, as well as what impact this interest could have on payers’ negotiating position

15 Payer Control Tools Prior authorization remains the most common utilization management tool implemented by payers. Clinical pathway utilization continues to increase, and although oncologists are generally less supportive of the tool, participants view outcomes as increasingly positive.

16 16 6th EDITION Prior Authorization Frequency How frequently do commercial payers require prior authorization for oncology therapies? *Significant difference between stakeholders. † Significant decrease from previous edition. ‡ Significant increase from previous edition. Percentage of Oncologists 10% or fewer treatment requests 11%-30% of treatment requests 31%-50% of treatment requests 51%-70% of treatment requests 71%-90% of treatment requests More than 90% of treatment requests Unsure Percentage of Practice Managers Key Finding Compared to oncologists, significantly more practice managers reported at the time of the survey that payers require prior authorizations for 71%-90% of treatment requests.

17 17 6th EDITION Impact of Pathway Adoption on Patient Outcomes Summer 2013 Oncologists n=42; Mean=3.62. Winter 2013 Oncologists n=48; Mean=3.57. Note: No significant increase between editions. How has the adoption of pathways impacted patient outcomes in the applicable cancer subtypes? Asked only of those oncologists who note that a party has adopted clinical pathways Percentage of Oncologists Summer 2013 Winter 2013 Significantly worse (1) or somewhat worse (2) Neither better nor worse (3) Somewhat better (4) or significantly better (5) Unsure Key Finding Sixty percent of oncologists reported that clinical pathway adoption had positively impacted patient outcomes, an increase from the previous 6 months.

18 18 6th EDITION Summary of Findings: Payer Control Tools Compared to oncologists, significantly more practice managers reported that payers required prior authorizations for 71%-90% of treatment requests Sixty percent of oncologists reported that clinical pathway adoption had positively impacted patient outcomes, an increase from the previous 6 months

19 Physician Reimbursement Payers continued to anticipate increases in specialty pharmacy distribution for both oral oncology therapies and office-administered therapies. More than 60% of oncologist contracts were based on average sales price (ASP), with one-third of payers continuing to reimburse at the former Medicare rate (ASP+6%). Payers expected shared savings and pay-for-performance to be the most prevalent alternative reimbursement contracts in the future.

20 20 7th EDITION Infusible Therapy Distribution Channels: Payer Perspective What percentage of your organization’s office-administered/infusible oncology therapy volume goes through each of the following distribution channels? No significant changes from previous edition. Key Findings Payers noted a decrease in buy-and-bill distribution for office-administered therapies over the past 2 years, coupled with an increase in specialty pharmacy distribution. Payers anticipated that office-administered/infusible therapy volume would shift away from buy-and-bill in favor of specialty pharmacies, with more than 50% of payers preferring the latter distribution channel. Share of Total Office-Administered/ Infusible Therapy Distribution

Payers n=103; Covered lives n=179.1 million. Key Finding Payers noted over 60% of contracts were based on ASP; over 30% of this group most frequently reimbursed branded agents at ASP+6%, the former Medicare rate. Less than ASP+4.3% ASP+4.3% (the effective Medicare rate under sequestration, as of 4/1/2013) ASP+4.4% to ASP+5% ASP+6% (the former Medicare rate) ASP+7% to ASP+10% ASP+11% to ASP+15% ASP+16% to ASP+20% Higher than ASP+20% Unsure At what rate does your organization most frequently reimburse branded agents relative to ASP? ASP 58.8% of sample (-3.7% from Winter 2010) 66.2% of covered lives (-4.5% from Winter 2010) ASP 61% of sample 63% of covered lives Other 7% of sample 3% of covered lives AWP* 32% of sample 35% of covered lives Percentage of Payers/Commercial Lives
