The savings power of UnitedHealthcare’s resources and network: Network strategy We provide best-in-class solutions, including full networks that offer strong and stable contracting, exceptional access and some of the best discounts available. Our network strategy is successful primarily because, along with having flexible choices, our network team listens closely to our customers. We seek a clear understanding of what a customer values and then work through which strategy will help them meet their goals. Once UMR’s network team gains insight into what a customer really wants and needs, we partner with them to deliver a solution. We can do that because, at the same time, we are partnering with our vendors to understand and recommend the many solutions that are out there. One of our biggest advantages is, of course, being a part of UnitedHealthcare. UMR is the only TPA with access to the UnitedHealthcare networks! UnitedHealthcare has the country’s largest proprietary network with comprehensive national access. Our national reimbursement rates are: • • • 5 Inpatient over 85 percent on DRG and per diem basis Outpatient over 80 percent per visit and per case basis Primary physicians and specialists over 95 percent fee schedule basis ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. The networks continue to grow UnitedHealthcare is constantly expanding through additional provider contracting, but it’s more than just adding providers — it’s about keeping providers. We have established long-term contracts (three to five years) with our network providers, and 99.6 percent of hospital spend remains under contract or renews annually without provider disruption or notice. This focus on fixed-rate contracts helps us predict and control future costs. UnitedHealthcare has a specific set of development objectives for each market area. Specific hospitals and physicians that customers want or need to build greater depth into the network will be targeted, so it will just keep getting better. Additional network advantages include: 6 • Significant out-of-pocket savings and no-balance billing with in-network providers • Simplified administration for multi-site customers • Seamless integration of specialty products and services • Single, toll-free telephone number to access benefit, provider and claim information ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. Claim savings analysis UMR has a dedicated support team to help with network issues and concerns. They work directly with local UnitedHealth Networks (UHN) contractors on access issues and network development. We have direct access into UnitedHealthcare’s re-pricing system to assist with discount disputes and appeals. We can also help members find network providers and assist with specific network arrangements. We will work with our local UHN contractor to facilitate direct customer/network arrangements. When we determine that UnitedHealthcare’s Options network is a good choice for a client, it’s because we can see substantial savings. In this real life example below, one of our clients was experiencing a 31.4 percent savings on claims with their old network. Just by switching to Options, where their members have access to fully credentialed physician specialists and other health care providers, this client saved 49.3 percent. Of course, it’s not just about discounts. The Options PPO network provides our customers with the flexibility they expect from a TPA. Options PPO network accommodates most benefit plans. Steerage requirements are less restrictive, and we have the ability to quilt in other networks, when necessary. 7 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. And, there’s more! Because we have relationships with more than 100 other PPO and PHO local and regional networks, along with access to multiple national networks, we can provide access and savings to clients whose plan members may be located in areas not well served by UnitedHealthcare networks. We can mix and match these networks, as needed. This is what sets us apart from carriers and other TPAs. The UMR network contract administration and analysis team works directly with UHN and our other network partners to balance customer needs with network rules. Strict confidentiality and security firewalls allow us this network flexibility. 880,000 of UMR’s 2.3 million members access non-UnitedHealthcare networks. As we mentioned, we offer quilting of networks to provide employees access to providers when a single network won’t do that. An example: A customer in Madison, Wis., who uses only one network likely has employees without access to the University of Wisconsin System, a leading provider in the community. UMR can quilt a regional network that includes the UW System and fill in the gap in coverage. UMR also offers a variety of dental networks. Dental network savings can often offset medical cost increases. We also know that with dental networks, access is the No. 1 priority. We give our customers a broad-based solution by combining the UMR Managed Dental network with Connection Dental. UMR’s goal is to understand your network strategy and provide recommendations to improve your competitiveness, as well as seek out new networks and network products. We will help you select the best network, and negotiate contracts and network access fees on your behalf. 8 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. Cost reduction and savings program Our cost reduction and savings (CRS) program helps you save money on non-PPO/out-of-network claims. Our secondary network strategy provides access to thousands of contracted providers nationwide through the First Health or Multiplan Complimentary networks. If we cannot obtain a secondary network discount, the claim will be sent to OptumInsight (formerly Ingenix) for fee negotiation, or to Corvel for facility usual and customary (U&C) review. OptumInsight offers a post-claim fee negotiation service for claims with an allowed amount of $1,000 or more. This fee negotiation strategy provides complete and transparent claim resolution, which is contracted in writing and eliminates balance billing of members. For Corvel facility U&C, all claims with a billed amount of $1,000 or more are reviewed for accuracy in coding, re-bundling, re-pricing, reasonable and customary or fee schedules. Corvel may also flag claims for professional nurse review or enhanced bill review. Corvel makes a U&C determination; therefore out-of-network providers may bill members for charges over and above U&C. To limit balance-billing for members, Corvel asks the provider to write off the amount determined to be over U&C. Corvel also asks the provider to call them directly with any questions about the reimbursement amount. Our Maximum Non-Network Reimbursement Program (MNRP) offers customers a more aggressive option for out-of-network cost reduction by applying Medicare-based rates to claims in place of standard facility or physician U&C. Member awareness of health care costs is promoted and members are encourage to change behavior, using their PPO network whenever possible. Physicians and facilities are encouraged to contract with PPO networks. The member is responsible for deductible and coinsurance, as well as the difference between billed charges and the MNRP allowable. 9 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. A proven record for saving money While not all eligible claims will receive a discount, UMR makes every effort to attain a discount and reduce your claim costs. UMR’s secondary network arrangements attain an average discount of 27 percent, while our fee negotiations garner 20 percent and facility U&C 30 percent. Because the monthly fee is based on percent-of-savings, the CRS program is truly win-win. Nearly all stop loss carriers have agreed to consider the CRS program fees as reimbursable expenses under the stop loss contract, so the fees accumulate toward your contract maximums — the specific deductible and aggregate claim maximum. The total cost of your UMR self-funded plan is therefore reduced by the CRS program. This is a standard offering for all customers, not an option. 90 percent to 92 percent of all claims are PPO. Of the remaining 8 percent to 10 percent, non-PPO claims, about half will hit the secondary network strategy. Only 2 percent to 3 percent of the non-PPO claims actually engage Corvel for facility U&C review. 10 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. Customer Solutions — network team Our work is not over when a network is selected. The Customer Solutions — network team is a valuable resource for customers and prospects to develop and support their network strategy. UMR will monitor performance on your behalf to maintain appropriate access to care, responsive service and competitive savings. Such ongoing support ensures compliance with the network rules and allows analysis and review of your network strategy. UMR also provides: • • • • Custom network setups ID cards Member communication for network education Compliance with network confidentiality and security The Customer Solutions — network team is a dedicated resource for customers to help develop initial and ongoing network strategies and resolve network issues. We initially maintain demographic and discount data on more than 45 networks, allowing us to tailor our network strategy to customer needs and goals for provider access and discounts. When recommending a strategy, we consider stability, minimizing employee disruption as they transfer to the new network. We focus on marketing, analysis and administration of our networks, maintaining strong relationships with them. Because we understand the requirements, strengths and weaknesses of our network partners, we can educate our sales and account management teams, as well as our clients. We continually investigate and consider new networks and products that make sense for our customers. We work to assure our network partners and customers who have built and maintain their own networks that their proprietary information is not shared with UnitedHealthcare. Their trust in our commitment to this confidentiality is a large reason we maintain these relationships and are able to offer multiple network solutions. These relationships also allow us to leverage our membership with our networks on behalf of our customers. It’s often easier for UMR, with perhaps 35,000 employees in a network, to resolve an issue than it is for a single client who has only 100. 11 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. The flexibility and service focus expected from a TPA: Core capabilities A key factor of the UMR advantage is that we are, first and foremost, a TPA, so one of our strengths is that we, of course, offer the flexibility and personalized service of a TPA. Although we serve more than 1,400 customers (most of whom have multiple plan designs), we clearly understand that each customer is a unique organization with a different culture, varying short- and long-term strategies and distinct approaches to plan design and cost containment. Our customers appreciate that we don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach, and as a result we build long-term relationships. We work to: • • • Understand each customer’s unique needs and company culture Promote familiarity with customers, their plan and their employees Be accountable for service delivery and improved plan results Our Customer First business model ensures accountability is embedded across your service team. This detailed approach means we get it right the first time. We take our time training the Customer First representative (CFRs), starting with six weeks in the classroom, followed by a full month on the job with limited authority, concentrated audits and close mentoring. And as we administer your plan, we conduct individual audits in claim and call. Each CFR has five calls recorded every week to review service accuracy and quality. We conduct a corporate audit of each service office to make sure our company standards are met for processing accuracy. UMR provides monthly and sometimes daily or weekly reports for claim transactions, check registers, care management and (if you opt for OptumRx) prescription usage online. We supply quarterly standard reports, as desired, using Advantage Suite by Thomson Reuters and an annual Plan Performance Analytic Review that merges clinical findings with claim costs and trends against normative data for use in strategic planning or modifying benefits. 12 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. Member support Our operations model is built around the plan members and customers to meet their needs in the most efficient manner. Taking care of plan members is critical to plan sponsor satisfaction, so we concentrate on providing accurate, fast and compassionate service. Each client is assigned a dedicated team that’s focused on accuracy and turnaround. They get to know each plan in detail and often get to know members by name. CFRs answer the phones and pay claims so they have all the information they need to respond quickly to a call. We find this approach results in more than 90 percent of inquiries resolved on the first call. On average, each CFR has more than six years of experience and takes ownership for their customers. The CFRs are joined by customer specialists who solve day-to-day claim issues and work with experts throughout UMR to maintain quality in our daily operations. We maintain a ratio of 2,300 plan members to one CFR. The team also includes a claim supervisor. Care management nurses, as well as disease management and wellness coaches, provide members with ongoing support to live as healthy a life as possible. Our care management is integrated with claim operations, so UMR provides seamless member interaction that increases first-call resolution. If a client chooses consumer-driven (CDH) plans or value-based benefit designs, UMR offers a trained Consumer Concierge to act as their advocate and provide cross-functional customer service (medical, CDH and dental), beginning at pre-enrollment and continuing throughout the life of the plan. Our pharmacy services partner, OptumRx, has dedicated UMR resources and user-friendly Web and mobile tools to boost member compliance. UMR also has strong online tools to help members keep track and understand their benefits and monitor not only their claims but their own health. 13 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. Customer support On the plan sponsor side, each customer has a dedicated strategic account executive (SAE) who becomes an expert on that client’s culture, objectives, benefit strategy and expectations. SAEs hold an authoritative role within the UMR structure. They are able to influence decisions and provide superior, proactive service in managing accounts. Bilingual SAEs are available. SAEs are accountable for their client’s overall satisfaction and: • Partner with clients and their advisors in enhancing their plans and savings through ongoing analysis and regular results meetings • Are a single point of contact for escalated issues and liaison between clients and UMR • Have self-funding knowledge • Hold a strong partnership with account executives SAEs are supported by customer specialists who: • Solve day-to-day claims issues and escalated, complex customer service challenges • Work with experts throughout the organization to maintain quality of daily operations • Provide technical expertise to the team Client service consultants support the SAE and, of course, the client in service delivery. They: • Support clients and their SAEs in day-to-day questions or issues • Partner with the SAEs in service delivery and tasks for the account • Are key facilitators for tracking, fact gathering, and information delivery such as reports, contracts, plan summaries and ID cards 14 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. Specialized support Customer First teams have access to specialized teams who designate contacts by customer to increase accountability and familiarity. • Reporting and analysis – provides access to online reports supporting financial reconciliation and facilitating strategic decision making • Care management – integrated with claims operations, which creates seamless member interaction and increases first-call resolution • Ancillary services – provides access to best-in-class ancillary services, including vision, hearing and telemedicine products • Stop loss – focuses on delivering the best carrier and contract type with quick claims filing and reimbursement • Consumer-driven solutions – a comprehensive approach that increases consumer engagement while reducing overall medical trend • Claims – dedicated team that’s focused on accuracy and turnaround while working to maximize your savings on today’s claims costs • Network administration – focused on maximizing the access and savings associated with local, regional and national networks • Pharmacy benefits -- a preferred relationship with our sister company OptumRx offers the best integration, flexibility and lower prescription costs. 15 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. Customer First delivers results Customer First teams drive accountability, resulting in timely, accurate claims processing as shown by the results below. We also externally validate our results through annual SAS70 audits. We audit 3.5 percent of our claims. Additionally, we conduct regular customer satisfaction and account management surveys, provide performance guarantees and use consistent feedback metrics. UMR’s auto-adjudication rate is greater than 75 percent, and more than 70 percent of our claims are submitted electronically, which further improves accuracy. 16 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. A reputation for smooth implementations Transitioning to a new TPA can sometimes be a barrier to making a change. At UMR, we understand how important a smooth implementation is, and we pride ourselves on a successful and — if we say so ourselves — impressive track record. We assign experienced transition leaders who oversee a full team that includes: • • • • The strategic account executive Claim management Supervisors Technical experts from each of our business units All our teams, and especially our transition leaders, are experts at dealing with unexpected issues without jeopardizing their deliverables. We keep detailed implementation logs, assigning each and every deliverable and task a target date and an owner who is held accountable. Management also plays an active role. As the implementation moves along, this team evolves into an ongoing service team — so they understand the issues and the complexities of your plan better than anyone else. 17 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. Tightly integrated internal solutions: Care management UMR Care Management provides integrated, member-centric services that can be tailored to your overall strategy. We help employers develop multi-year strategies to adapt their health culture to value healthy lifestyles, emphasize personal accountability and, ultimately, mitigate their medical claim trend. We focus on educating and motivating members, moving them from incentives for participation to incentives based on achievement of empirical, clinical health markers, such as BMI, LDL, fasting glucose and blood pressure. We equip your plan members with the knowledge and resources to take a more active role in their health care decisions and to think like consumers when choosing the right options for them. UMR recognizes that when it comes to member care, one size does not fit all – a service of utmost value to one plan member may be of little or no value to another. Incentives, such as reduced co-pays or premiums, reward members for appropriate use of high-value services or adopting a healthy lifestyle. Government estimates show as much as 75 percent of health care costs can be attributed to a preventable disease, so offering 100 percent coverage for preventive care may be a sound investment. Preventive care, such as age- and gender-specific screenings, can detect these diseases early, when they are most treatable, and help at-risk members make healthy lifestyle changes to avoid developing a chronic and costly condition. We can also offer value-based benefit solutions that combine the strength of our care management programs with the benefits of consumer-driven health plans. The result is a plan that uses incentives to steer plan members to the highest-value care at the most affordable rates. 18 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. Keys to success 1. We have found that incremental, phased, multi-year strategies are the most effective in achieving long-term, lasting change. 2. Senior-level support is essential to building and sustaining wellness initiatives. Senior leaders who communicate the wellness message frequently have more effective and results-oriented programs, because support from the top tells employees that wellness is a priority at your organization. 3. For these programs to be successful, plan members need to not only be aware of them but educated and engaged in them. Communication is critical. UMR care management will help you develop and deliver a coordinated communication plan that connects with members at multiple levels through print, electronic, telephonic and multimedia messages. 4. Incentives, particularly financial rewards, such as premium reductions or gift cards, are powerful motivators for encouraging member behaviors that are aligned with your objectives. The right incentive can: • • • Spur interest Help your program maintain momentum Raise your participation level to better than 70 percent over time We recognize that every member population is different, so we will work with you to customize an incentive plan that best meets your needs and those of your members. Consider adopting an incentive plan that evolves with time, moving from a program that rewards participation to one that rewards improved health indicators, such as biometric screening results. Once established, consider enhancing wellness activities by incorporating consumer-driven elements or valuebased designs. 19 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. The value of our care management program Our suite of care management products offer tightly integrated internal solutions to medical management, but we also have the flexibility to “plug and play” with just about any vendor a client prefers. We can give you access to the full spectrum of URAC-accredited programs – from utilization management and case management to disease management and health and wellness. Each program is interconnected and linked to our sophisticated claims platform. Or you can pick and choose only those products that fit your unique needs. To make the most of your medical plan and take full advantage of the discounts available to you through the UnitedHealthcare Options PPO Network, UMR requires you to use our utilization management and case management solutions to limit potentially costly claims. When purchased in a combined package, our customers typically realize a 3:1 return on investment for our utilization management, case management and disease management programs. There’s no silver bullet to our approach, but it is designed to connect with plan members and energize them to actively participate in their health care decisions and lifestyle choices. 20 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. The member experience UMR Care Management works with members to: • • • Actively engage them in their health and health care decisions Help them understand how to get more value for their health care dollars Improve their daily behavior to enhance their quality of life Members have an advocate who helps them navigate the health care system and their benefits options in a knowledgeable, friendly and caring manner. Our programs emphasize communication and education, participation, member satisfaction and clinical improvement. Members receive the tools they need to build stronger relationships with their health care providers, along with informative materials on important health topics and access to online resources. Working hand-in-hand with clients and client advisors, we can drive participation through: • • • Preventive care coverage Plan inclusions and exclusions Incentives tied to clinical health risk assessment (CHRA) or biometric screening completion and health status, or incentives tied to participation with a health coach or case manager We recognize that every member population is different, so we will work with you to customize an incentive plan that best meets your needs and those of your members. UMR care management provides a variety of member materials to help you introduce the programs and services available to your employees and encourage them to make healthy lifestyle choices. These include posters, flyers, tent cards, wallet cards, teleseminars, newsletter articles and lab screening handouts. 21 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. Rewarding healthy behaviors The right use of incentives will help you: • • • • • • • Engage and reward members Encourage completion of CHRAs and biometric screenings Drive enrollment in health coaching programs Spur interest in wellness-related activities Influence behaviors Maintain momentum Place a clear emphasis on what’s important to the culture of your organization Incremental, phased, multi-year strategies have proven most effective. Consider rewards based upon: • Activity/participation: Incentives for completing a CHRA or wellness coaching • Diagnosis/risk: Co-pays waived on condition-specific medications, i.e., medicine for hypertension management or cholesterol reduction • Compliance: Lower premiums for non-smokers, 100 percent coverage for preventive care or condition-specific care or medications • Outcomes/health status: Incentives or benefits based upon biometric screening results or improved screening measurements, or for achieving specific health goals 22 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. Identifying member risk UMR Care Management uses diverse sets of data and advanced analyses to identify members with current chronic health conditions and future health risks. After collecting the data, we examine the stratified results, using algorithms based on standards outlined by nationally recognized health organizations. When we’ve identified at-risk members — catastrophic, chronic or at-risk (non-chronic) — it is important to engage them in the right program through plan design and targeted member communications. Members in the following categories are targeted to participate in one-on-one sessions with a health coach or nurse: • One of seven disease states: asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), congestive heart failure (CHF), coronary artery disease (heart disease), depression, diabetes and hypertension • Pregnancy • High-risk for developing heart disease • High-risk for developing diabetes (pre-diabetes) • Multiple lifestyle risks (nutrition, activity, blood pressure and/or weight/obesity) • Tobacco use • Body mass index of 35 or more (morbid obesity) 23 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. NurseLine® and maternity management NurseLine connects members with highly trained registered nurses any time of day, seven days a week. Nurses help callers make more informed choices about when and where to seek the appropriate care, providing information on specific conditions and treatment options. This can result in fewer emergency room visits and hospital stays, leading to lower overall health expenses. Through NurseLine, members also can access an audio health information library, with more than 1,100 recorded topics, such as aging, common illnesses, fitness and surgical procedures. Our maternity management program offers assessments and information for women considering having a baby and prenatal education and guidance to those expecting. The result is an increased number of healthy, full-term deliveries and a decrease in costly, extended hospital stays. We identify participants using claim edits, triggers and utilization review. Our nurse coaches then provide education, follow-up calls and support based on the woman’s individual risks. Those identified as high-risk are placed into our case management program, to monitor their conditions and keep customers informed of high-cost situations. All members who join the maternity management program during the first or second trimester receive an incentive gift. Once enrolled in the program, expectant mothers are contacted by nurse case managers who have extensive clinical backgrounds in obstetrics/ gynecology. Members also can choose from a selection of highquality books and other materials containing helpful information about pregnancy, pre-term labor, childbirth, breast feeding and infant care. 24 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. Health and wellness UMR’s health and wellness program provides a proactive approach to improving the health of employees. We identify members’ current and future health risks and then help them understand those risks and how they are linked to conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. We give them the tools and support to make healthier lifestyle choices that reduce their likelihood of developing a chronic disease. Completing a clinical health risk assessment (CHRA) is the first step for members. Our CHRA asks questions about members’ medical history and lifestyle habits such as food choices, physical activity level, tobacco use and readiness to change. We combine the CHRA reports with biometric screening results for blood pressure, glucose levels and cholesterol to gain a more complete picture of the overall health of a group. Members identified as high risk for future health problems are invited to work with a personal health coach in a series of one-on-one phone conversations. Our coaches are trained in behavior-change techniques and provide information and encouragement to help participants set goals and follow through with their plan to live healthier. UMR can assist you in establishing a workplace culture that supports healthy behaviors to improve the well-being of your employees. We provide strategies and support in crafting customized wellness plans, along with employee challenges that encourage participation in physical activity, weight loss or healthy eating programs. We encourage customers to attach incentives to their wellness programs. Incentives increase participation and have a direct impact on your program’s success. Because every employer population is different, successful incentive programs are structured with the particular motivations of the members in mind. The program includes: Clinical health risk assessments Onsite biometric health screenings Personal health coaching Quarterly newsletters Educational information Worksite wellness strategies and support Incentive administration 25 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. Disease management UMR has found that these seven health conditions drive medical claims costs for employers: • • • • • • • Asthma Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) Congestive heart failure Coronary artery disease Depression (co-morbid condition) Diabetes Hypertension (high blood pressure) Identifying plan members and helping them manage their conditions provides the maximum value to you, while helping participants improve their well-being. The program also can mitigate indirect costs to you, such as absenteeism and reduced productivity. Our program uses the leading behavior change model to determine an individual’s current stage of readiness to change and how we can best guide the participant toward improved health. To maximize your short-term return on investment, we focus on those who are currently most ready to make a healthy change. Members with a chronic condition are automatically enrolled in the program, and those identified for one-on-one coaching are invited to participate through a combination of letters and phone calls. To help drive participation in the program, UMR offers customers new to disease management a $100 gift card incentive. It is given to eligible members who enroll in one-on-one coaching during an introductory time period. Lower-risk participants receive a free subscription to our quarterly newsletter and periodic communications about their condition and making healthy changes. All members can access NurseLine to talk with a nurse about any health-related questions, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 26 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. Utilization management and case management UMR monitors all cases from initial notification through discharge. Our goal is to intervene as early as possible to ensure cases don’t deviate from the expected treatment plan and become complicated and costly for you or your employees. Cases that might be deemed “high-risk” are forwarded to our case management or disease management programs for further review. We maintain an up-to-date list of inpatient and outpatient procedures that require notification, and we can customize our list based on your specific requests. We measure utilization management savings by comparing the estimated cost of the care requested to the cost of care authorized. In most instances, our utilization management program customers see a 2 to 1 return on investment (ROI) approximately one year after the completion of program implementation. UMR case management targets complicated cases to achieve better medical outcomes for plan members and greater cost savings to you.The key to our success is the case manager’s ability to identify, coordinate and negotiate alternative treatment plans and related costs. • • • Our case management team is made up of licensed, registered nurses 95 percent of our nurses have certified case manager (CCM) credentials All must have three years of acute care clinical experience and expertise in at least one specialized field Our system identifies case management opportunities using an automated trigger list that can be customized at your request. The list is based on ICD, CPT and dollar threshold criteria or when a member’s inpatient length of stay reaches five days. Each case is unique and handled according to the specific needs of the member. On average, cases remain open for four months. UMR measures the success of its case management program by the following criteria: • • • • • • • Improved clinical efficacy Reasonable medical action plan Coordination with providers and family Clinically eligible for coverage Customer satisfaction correspondence Coordination with stop loss vendors Return on investment 27 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. Tangible results UMR Care Management can provide data to support cost savings based on risk reduction through comparison of behavior change and clinical outcomes. Our programs put an emphasis on communication and education, participation, member satisfaction and clinical improvement. As a result, customers achieve a measurable return on their investment, including participation, clinical, utilization and financial results. When purchased in a combined package, our customers typically realize a 3 to 1 return on investment for our utilization management, case management and disease management programs. In 2010, UMR’s book of business showed that for members who completed health coaching: • • • • • • 39 percent improved their physical activity frequency 25 percent state they have less life stress after coaching 32 percent stopped tobacco use during coaching 34 percent showed improvement in blood pressure 44 percent stated they eat high-fat foods less frequently 44 percent stated they eat high-fiber foods more frequently By working with UMR’s health coaches, disease management participants overall are able to improve or maintain their health status for nearly 75 percent of the clinical risk factors measured. 28 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. Tightly integrated internal solutions: Pharmacy Research studies show time and time again, that the most frequently accessed portion of one’s health care benefits is prescription drug coverage. UMR offers a unique and preferred internal PBM pharmacy benefits manager — which has been paramount to achieving overall cost control and high member satisfaction. Pharmaceutical trends are complex and rapidly evolving. Having a thought leader in the PBM arena is vital. A number of factors are influencing the 5 percent to 7 percent growth in drug sales estimated by IMS Health. That translates to $880 billion in global drug revenues for 2011. Actual U.S. prescription drug sales grew 5.1 percent in 2009 to $300.3 billion. Affecting this growth is the fact that a number of new “first in class drugs” were released in 2011 for conditions previously under-treated — such as multiple sclerosis (MS), Hepatitis C, prostate and bone cancer (plus osteoporosis treatment), and thefirst oral anticoagulant in 50 years. Generics “Many of the world's biggest-selling drugs are set to lose U.S. patent protection from 2011-2014, leading to massive savings,” of an estimated $70 billion over the next four years. Generics are also expected to increase their market dominance, rising from 77 percent of prescriptions in the first half of 2011 to as much as 85 percent by 2014, according to the new forecast. Many iconic brands will lose patent protection in 2011-2014 (six of the top 10 brands), such as Lipitor and Plavex. Public and private controls Canada is eliminating rebates. In the U.S., we are seeing increased use of PAs by payers/health plans. Companies are cutting benefits and encouraging patients to use the lower cost alternatives through incentives. Global price setting limits pharma profits in Spain, Turkey and Japan. Emerging new players The U.S., Japan and China will be the top three players by 2012. Seventeen countries are in this category, with all seeing 15 percent to 17 percent annual growth and China at 25 percent. Health care reform State health exchanges will be emerging in 2014. We also need to respond to the guarantee issue – spreading the risk over younger, healthier individuals to lower costs for all. Penalties rise over time for those who do not buy health insurance, and there will be a government fine for business that do not provide coverage. 29 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc.

Our preferred PBM partner In this kind of environment, you need a pharmacy benefits manager that knows the business, has the financial backing and access to state-of-the-art technology only a Fortune 50 company can provide and has the mindset of building infrastructure around the client and consumer. UMR found this expertise right in the family — OptumRx. As the largest health-plan-owned PBM, OptumRx (like UMR) can bring much more to the table than a typical stand-alone PBM. In addition to strength and depth of skill, OptumRx offers accountability for not only pharmacy outcomes but also the effect those decisions have on your medical benefit. Both UMR and OptumRx are proud to be part of UnitedHealth Group. Our businesses are organized into two arms — UnitedHealthcare, which contains the core medical businesses, including UMR; and Optum Health Services, which is composed of the health services businesses, including OptumRx. This close association makes it easy to understand why OptumRx is our preferred pharmacy benefit manager. We are tightly integrated, have access to the same committed investments of UnitedHealth Group and present a unified approach to serving the full spectrum of our clients’ needs. 30 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. A full spectrum of PBM services OptumRx is an innovative, full-service pharmacy benefit management company, managing the prescription drug benefit of commercial, Medicare and other governmental health plans, as well as those of employers and unions. From claims processing to clinical services, rebate management to network management, OptumRx takes pride in bringing excellence throughout every service we provide. OptumRx now serves more than 13 million members, translating to approximately 21 million members due to the size of our Medicare Part D segment. Those members typically take 2.5 times more medications than a commercial member. Last year, OptumRx processed more than 350 million adjusted scripts, which makes us the fourth-largest PBM in the nation. Our business-wide generic penetration was at 74.6 percent in first quarter 2011, and mail order generic penetration at 74.4 percent in first quarter 2011 – positioning us as one of the industry leaders in generic utilization rates. 31 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. By the numbers One important key metric is our Net Promoter Score (NPS), which we calculate internally every month. NPS is critical because it measures a member’s word-of-mouth recommendation of a service. NPS is defined as the percent of promoters minus the percent of detractors while ignoring the passives. We use a 5-point scale from Completely Satisfied to Completely Dissatisfied for the question “Would you recommend OptumRx to a friend or family?” Our current Net Promoter Score is 64.6 percent. To level set, net promoter scores for most companies are between 5 percent and 15 percent; high-performing companies such as American Express are usually around 40 percent to 45 percent. In 2009, JD Power did an NPS analysis and based on adjusted data. We were at 66.2 percent at the time, and our Big 3 competitors were at 36 percent (ESI), 31.1 percent (Medco) and 29.4 percent (Caremark). According to a 2010 Satmetrix NPS analysis, comparable scores to ours list eBay at 65 percent, Facebook at 65 percent and Google at 63 percent. Apple leads the NPS space at 78 percent. The folks promoting us are dispersed throughout very different market segments as we serve employers, labor unions, TPAs, PBMs and MCOs. When clients work with both UMR and OptumRx, we receive consistently higher customer satisfaction rates than groups without OptumRx as their PBM. Our surveys show that when a plan has integrated benefits, we see a four-point increase in overall satisfaction. Better accuracy, faster turnaround, members who are treated with respect and coordinated warm call transfers drive this satisfaction. 32 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. An integrated team Clearly the relationship between OptumRx and UMR is strong and connected, offering clients that integrated support as part of the UMR team. For instance, your OptumRx client relations manager will take care of your day-to-day operational needs, while your OptumRx strategic account executive will ensure you are satisfied and that we are meeting your overall strategic goals and needs. We are grounded by strong business development and sales executive support. Because if we are strong — you are, too. And finally, the UMR client service coordinator and SAE are there to enrich the customer experience even more — ensuring the health/medical plan branches are far-reaching and intertwined with the pharmacy benefits. In a true client partnership model, we need to define a balance between all the moving factors to create an appropriate benefit plan for our customers. It’s a balance between cost savings and member disruption; how can we maximize your savings with the least amount of disruption to your membership? OptumRx has the flexibility to build a customized pharmacy benefit plan to hit the right balance for you. Together, we will determine which programs to implement that will address consumer needs and maximize satisfaction, while driving value to the overall benefit strategy. 33 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. Pricing flexibility You have three choices of pricing: 1. Fixed fee: • OptumRx passes through the ingredient cost and dispensing fee charged by the pharmacy, without mark-up • The plan knows what they pay their PBM – a fixed, per-paid claim fee • The plan does not need to negotiate with OptumRx to receive improved terms; the plan receives them as soon as the renegotiated pharmacy contract takes effect One point to consider, the pricing arrangement looks different and can be difficult to explain and contrast with the traditional model, so it may not be the best strategy or fit for all plans. 2. Traditional: • The plan receives guaranteed and predictable discounts and rebates • Traditional is the most widely used pricing model in the PBM industry • Easy to explain to clients and generally viewed as a low-risk option • The plan trades predictability of fixed discounts for disclosure of PBM revenue and transparency 3. Rebate Fee Credit: • Reduction to UMR’s TPA administration charge, instead of rebate payments 34 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. The advantage of OptumRx + UMR The long standing history between UMR and Optum Rx strengthens us with several key differentiators, including: • A single financial process – The human resources manager receives one combined feed for reporting, data and eligibility. • Nightly HDHP/HSA FSA auto-reimbursement feed – Information is updated in real time, so members receive FSA information sooner. • Stop loss (aggregate and individual) pharmacy data integration feeds sent several times per year – Reimbursement is sent to the customer in June or July, versus the end of the year. • DM/CM/wellness data integration – Customer service can view real-time pharmacy information with members enrolled in these programs. • Coordinated call center – Our integrated call centers and warm transfer technology allows for an holistic approach to member services; the member can make one call and manage all their medical and prescription benefit inquiries. • One ID card – Members have the convenience of one ID card to hold all their important Plan ID numbers and service center information. • Member portal – Members need to access only one Web site to see all important medical and pharmacy benefit information. • Flexible benefit design – We match the needs of the plan with a customized benefit design. • Client service model – Our dedicated service team partners with the UMR service team. 35 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. What people are saying about OptumRx Our own industry validates our value, consistently awarding us for our investments and service philosophy. • 2010 URAC Best Practices Award in Health Care Consumer Empowerment and Protection for its Multiple Sclerosis Disease Therapy Management Program – One of only two platinum awards (and the only one given to a PBM) for our innovative member outreach program that improves outcomes and reduces costs. Additionally, we are the first PBM to earn all four URAC Pharmacy Quality ManagementSM accreditations. • 2011 LearningElite Award – This is similar to the ASTD BEST award. We won a 2009 ASTD BEST Award from the American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) for our Customer Advocacy initiative, becoming the first PBM to be so honored. The initiative features innovative, interactive curriculum with hands-on activities, role playing and simulations. • Top 1 percent of companies nationally and highest among peers in 2010 JD Power Customer Call Center satisfaction survey – We showed best-in-class among all 12 mail pharmacy call centers with an overall score of 870. OptumRx received the highest rankings for customer service and cost competitiveness factors among mail order pharmacies in the J.D. Power and Associates 2009 National Pharmacy Study. We ranked second overall among mail order pharmacies, and were one of only two mail order pharmacies to receive all five Power Circles, which equates to “among the best” for the overall experience. • Third consecutive TIPPSSM Re-Certification for Pharmacy Benefits Transparency Standards – We received re-certification for Transparency in Pharmaceutical Purchasing Solutions (TIPPS) from the HR Policy Association Pharmaceutical Coalition, earning the coalition’s highest level of transparency by providing actual average inventory cost for mail order drugs. Certification is bestowed only upon PBMs that are willing to meet the Coalition’s rigorous transparency standards and agree to provide Coalition members with audit rights to validate compliance. We received the prestigious Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites™ (VIPPS®) reaccreditation by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy® (NABP®) for web- based pharmacies in Carlsbad and OPS. We won Gold for Best eBusiness Site from the eHealthcare Leadership Awards in 2010 and a 2009 Gold MarComm award for writing/Web copy. Plus the WilsonRx Survey placed us as the top mail service pharmacy two years running, rating us No. 1 nationally in overall member satisfaction for two years in a row. 36 ©2012 United HealthCare Services, Inc. Tightly integrated internal solutions: Stop loss UMR has strong relationships with the nation’s leading stop loss carriers. Our preferred status earns customers premium discounts. Just as importantly, customers experience fewer handoffs and encounter fewer of the complications that can occur when you use more than one vendor. By using our arrangements, customers can work with financially stable carriers who are committed to the stop loss market. Our customers receive preferred pricing because of UMR’s ability to provide access to the UnitedHealthcare networks and our proven cost containment programs. Customers have access to plan mirroring provisions, avoiding coverage gaps between their medical plan documents and stop loss policies. Our claim turn-around guarantees are the best in the industry. Our customers are able to have carriers lock in rates sooner than the industry average, which allows them access to unique programs, such as three-year contracts, Raising the Bar and Contract Advantage Plan (CAP). CAP is a policy endorsement offered by HCC Life. It guarantees that if the customer renews, the renewal policy will not contain any additional covered persons with a separate individual-specific deductible (i.e. laser). Specific monthly premium rates on the renewal are guaranteed not to increase by more than 12 percent over the current rates. The group must purchase CAP upfront; it is available for additional premium. The UMR advantage gives customers integrated and immediate claim notification, so you can get a jumpstart on managing high-cost claims. Our support features include weekly claim filing of new and subsequent claims, electronic claim filing and select carrier system integration and low document filing requirements.
