  5. Dynamic Environment Challenging environment provides opportunities to develop new solutions to the issues facing our country and our health care system Elections Supreme court Economic and fiscal pressure • Upheld the individual mandate • Eliminated compulsory Medicaid expansion • Significant milestone but does not change our strategy • Economic recovery still fragile • Job growth stagnant • Growth in spend on entitlement programs

  6. What if we imagined a move fromFee for Service to Fee for Value?

  8. We see Accountable Care as a Broad, Transformational Commercial Model • Aetna Perspective • All patient model – Medicare, Medicaid, Commercial • All payor model – not limited to Aetna members • Committed to quality and total cost management • Symmetrical risk sharing • CMS Model • Medicare only • Defined network • Shared savings • Quality measures and reporting Aetna’s Accountable Care Solutions offering is a sustainable long-term model for change

  9. What Is An Accountable Care Organization? Internal ACO Goals Improve Efficiency • Share in the benefits they create • Increase patient share • Reduce payer concentration • Expand geographically • First mover advantages • Prepare for Medicare ACO requirements External ACO Goals Improve Quality Improve Satisfaction

  10. Driving Affordability Requires Steerage to Providers who can Effectively Manage Populations and Risk • Broad access to all providers – traditional network • Most costly option for members / employers • Transparency tools use critical Network Size Price National Network 100% 100% • Providers meet some minimum quality standard • Often higher quality at any cost vs. lower cost • Narrowing of network produces some savings Quality Designation Network 95% 60% • Savings achieved via steerage based on contract variation – drives affordability; not sustainable • Some consideration for quality Low Cost Networks 90% 40% • Most affordable option – steerage to providers who provide highly coordinated care aided by health IT, care management etc. that can deliver triple aim improvements and high patient engagement rates • Portability of data across ACOs via HIE capabilities High Value / ACO Network 25% 85%

  14. Our Challenges • Demand for Providers Will Continue to Grow • Primary Care; Dental; Behavioral Health all critical needs • Intense Rate Pressure Creating “Rate Shock” • ACA market reforms and fees will significantly increase premiums • MLR requirements tighten our administrative costs • Need to be able to offer lower-cost network that still meets access adequacy requirements of the Exchange • Need to have provider partners to help drive members to right care, in the right place, at the right time • Need providers with HIT capabilities and sophistication

  15. FQHCs Offer Unique Capabilities • Providers of primary care, behavioral health and dental services with experience and expertise in new ACA populations • Cultural competency • Effective, tested interventions on health issues critical to new populations • Located in key access areas • Are “Essential Community Providers” required for Exchange networks

  16. FQHCs: Nontraditional Provider for Most Companies Selling on Exchanges • What does the place look like? • Members, lay-out, location, equipment • Scope and Quality of Care? • Types of providers, training, skills • EHR and HIT capabilities ? • Willing to negotiate on rates? • Willing to share risk on members? ACOs and PCMH? • Willing to provide 24 hour coverage? • Willing to help us learn about you while you learn about us?

  17. Moving Forward: The Time is Now • Negotiating contracts and network now • Meeting with state officials now • Exchange strategies • Churn recommendations • Deciding which Exchanges now • Bidding on managed Medicaid contracts now • But recognizing this is an evolving process that will be years in the making. • Looking forward to learning together
